The iconic Final Fantasy VII soundtrack, "One-Winged Angel," made a surprising appearance at the Louis Vuitton Men's Fall-Winter 2025 fashion show. This unexpected collaboration blended high fashion with a legendary video game score.
A Live Orchestral Performance
The show opened with a live orchestra performing the powerful "One-Winged Angel," Sephiroth's theme song. Male models showcased the latest Louis Vuitton menswear collection as the music played.
Creative director Pharrell Williams curated the soundtrack. While the rest of the playlist leaned towards pop artists like The Weeknd, Playboy Carti, Don Toliver, SEVENTEEN, and BTS' j-hope, the inclusion of "One-Winged Angel" (composed by Nobuo Uematsu) was a notable departure. Williams' reasons remain unclear, but it's speculated he's a fan of the music, or perhaps a Final Fantasy enthusiast. The livestream is available on the official Louis Vuitton YouTube channel.
Square Enix's Delightful Surprise
Square Enix, the creators of Final Fantasy VII, expressed their pleasant surprise on the official Final Fantasy VII X (Twitter) account, sharing their excitement about the inclusion of "One-Winged Angel" in the fashion show.
Final Fantasy VII: A Gaming Classic
