Called Life of a Rock Star, the campaign images also feature a very special guest: Iggy Pop's pet parrot, named Biggy Pop.

For Gucci’s new men’s tailoring collection images, A$AP Rocky, Iggy Pop and Tyler, The Creator hang out with Iggy’s pet parrot, Biggy Pop, and its friend, a blue hyacinth macaw, in a Californian modernist mansion. Shot by photographer and director Harmony Korine, the housemates 'goof about with their pets on the grassy terrace at night, at the kitchen table with a huge pot of spaghetti, and in the lounge in the afternoon sunlight.'

Alessandro Michele said of the images: 'The result is a group campaign with three men who I believe had fun too. There is always this image of eccentricity, because they are in fact eccentric themselves. A certain type of fun is also portrayed and the idea of how one’s obsession with appearances can create a kind of common ground that can become a sort of brotherhood. It was beautiful to see these three men together, seemingly different but very similar.'

'This is another chapter of this journey. With these campaigns, I am working on different ways of being elegant, and these three men embody this idea perfectly. I like to tell the story of elegance in completely arbitrary and unexpected ways. Perhaps elegance is something in the air that sometimes you are not even ready for. Male elegance can be unpredictable and strange.'

Unfortunately Biggy Pop was not taking questions.
