The iconic Final Fantasy VII soundtrack, "One-Winged Angel," made a surprising appearance at the Louis Vuitton Men's Fall-Winter 2025 fashion show. Discover the details of this unexpected collaboration!
A Live Orchestra Performance
The legendary track, Sephiroth's theme from Final Fantasy VII, opened the show. A live orchestra delivered a powerful rendition as models showcased the latest luxury menswear collection.
Creative director Pharrell Williams curated the soundtrack. The inclusion of "One-Winged Angel," a dramatic orchestral piece, amidst a predominantly pop-oriented selection (featuring artists like The Weeknd, Playboy Carti, Don Toliver, SEVENTEEN, and BTS' j-hope) is intriguing. While Williams composed or co-wrote the other tracks, "One-Winged Angel," composed by Nobuo Uematsu, stands as a unique addition. Perhaps Williams is simply a fan of the music, or a secret Final Fantasy enthusiast!
The full show is available on the official Louis Vuitton YouTube channel.
Square Enix's Delightful Surprise
Square Enix expressed their surprise and delight on the official Final Fantasy VII X (Twitter) account, tweeting their happiness at the inclusion of "One-Winged Angel" and sharing a link to the fashion show video.
