London-based content creator and model Caleb Frempong has had a varied start to life: born in Italy and then from Scotland to London, he describes his work as at the intersection of personal style, visual storytelling, and everyday creativity.

Yet what stands out most about Caleb is his approach to authenticity in his work. His love of fashion began early, as he wandered charity shops during his lunch breaks in search of a vintage gem, and this hobby evolved into a passion that underpins his work today. A background in Art & Design and photography helped Caleb develop his unique individual language. It’s those real, genuine moments captured on film that resonate with him, a feeling he echoes in his own work, which is never overly staged and reflects his personal style, which he says is “nostalgic yet classic, focused on honest, timeless moments that feel genuine and unforced.”
Caleb is drawn to classic pieces, like Levi’s, “because they fit me well and always feel right.” He explains, but he also likes designers who strike a balance between structure and fluidity, such as Wales Bonner and Ami Paris, and he appreciates timeless silhouettes from classic houses like Prada, blended with streetwear, “to create a look that feels natural and true to me.” Ultimately, for Caleb, it’s about creating true connections. But the greatest reward, he reveals, whether through modelling, styling, or creating imagery, is knowing that his work connects with or inspires someone. “This editorial is definitely one of those moments”, he explains. Long term, it’s Caleb’s respect for authenticity and for others that shines through in his aspirations; he says he’d love to build a platform or creative studio that supports young talent and encourages people to express themselves confidently and authentically and with everything he’s achieved to date, we have no doubt he’ll make that happen.
