The Tiger: Power at Play
Gucci unveils The Tiger, a cinematic short with sharp storytelling and unmistakable style. Spike Jonze directs. Halina Reijn co-helms. A stellar cast leads Gucci’s new film, made to showcase the La Famiglia collection’s attitude and edge. Edinburgh has exclusive access to the looks.
The Tiger is Gucci’s return to film, told through the unmistakable vision of Oscar winner Spike Jonze alongside Halina Reijn. Having premiered at Milan Fashion Week, the short dives into the chaos and control that sit behind polished family glamour. It features looks from La Famiglia, giving the collection a narrative backbone that is sharp, elegant and unafraid of tension.
The story centres on Barbara Gucci, Head of Gucci International and Chairman of California, as she hosts her children and a special guest for a birthday gathering. What begins as a meticulous celebration fractures as Barbara juggles reputation, maternal pressure and the private chaos simmering beneath the surface. When the night turns, her façade cracks and the family is forced to renegotiate their world.
The cast is heavyweight. Demi Moore, Edward Norton, Ed Harris, Elliot Page, Keke Palmer, Alia Shawkat, Julianne Nicholson, Heather Lawless, Ronny Chieng, Kendall Jenner and Alex Consani carry the film’s mix of humour, ambition and emotional sharpness.
Looks from La Famiglia thread through the story, reinforcing the personas built into the collection. Sleek tailoring, sculptural outerwear, nocturnal Flora, head-to-toe monogram, the red Incazzata coat and the sultry power of La Bomba all heighten the film’s tension. The Tiger captures the House’s new mood: cinematic, self-aware and defiantly stylish.
