In the same way restraint delivers nuance, the tension created between fantasy and reality is @jesjpp’s recipe for theatrical performance. But how does #Jes make sense of the already-fantastical elements of his latest @beoncloud.official series #4Minutes? He seeks out a common ground between himself and the characters he plays to humanise them. “My character Thyme is a reserved person just like myself. We tend to keep things to ourselves and overthink quite a bit.”

Jes does not overthink his wardrobe, however. Apparent in the way he performs and dresses, timelessness is a quality he possesses. Rather than picking out the baggiest of jeans or the tightest quad-hugging silhouette that reads overtly trendy, he goes for the @calvinklein Straight Jeans — from the Authentic Straight, the 90’s Straight, and the Standard Straight — that convey a deliberate nod to the classics.
