Here’s the thing about a great set of bangs: they can do it all. When your bangs fit your face and your style just so, everything seems more elevated, even a humble white T-shirt and jeans ensemble. Just ask Demi Moore, who relied on fringe to help her craft her character in the new Gucci short film, The Tiger.
Moore plays a character named Barbara Gucci in the film, which was directed by Spike Jonze and Halina Reijn to introduce the Demna era at the Italian fashion house. She turned to hairstylist Dimitris Giannetos to help bring Barbara Gucci to life, and that required bangs. The bangs were a collaborative event between the filmmakers, Moore, Giannetos, and Demna, Gucci’s creative director. “Demna had the idea of the ‘Gucci bangs,’” Giannetos shared. “And [of course] he always has the right vision.” After the group agreed on the fringe, Giannetos got to work, crating a set of brow-skimming curtain bangs that blended beautifully into Moore’s signature long dark hair.
The bangs looked effortlessly cool with Moore’s heading-to-set outfit of a T-shirt and denim, but they transformed into something completely different when she got into costume and character. Demi Moore the person’s bangs were a little bit rock ‘n’ roll, but Barbara Gucci’s bangs were more polished, hitting right at the brow and brushed straight across her forehead with piecey separation, swapping the undone look for a “ladies who lunch” aesthetic—especially with the addition of a red Gucci jacket. One set of bangs, two completely different vibes.
