One-Winged Angel Soars onto the Louis Vuitton Runway
The iconic Final Fantasy VII soundtrack made a surprise appearance at the Louis Vuitton Men's Fall-Winter 2025 Fashion Show. Nobuo Uematsu's legendary "One-Winged Angel," Sephiroth's chilling theme, opened the show with a powerful performance by a live orchestra. Models showcased the latest collection against the backdrop of this unforgettable musical moment.
A Live Orchestra Performance
Creative director Pharrell Williams curated the show's soundtrack, a mix of pop hits from artists like The Weeknd, Playboy Carti, Don Toliver, SEVENTEEN, and BTS' j-hope. The inclusion of "One-Winged Angel," a decidedly non-pop choice, is intriguing. While no official explanation has been given, it's a testament to the track's enduring power and perhaps a reflection of Williams' personal appreciation for the Final Fantasy series. The livestream video is available on the official Louis Vuitton YouTube channel.
Square Enix's Delightful Surprise
Square Enix expressed their excitement on the official Final Fantasy VII X (Twitter) account, stating, "We're more than happy to hear music director Pharrell Williams and team have included One-Winged Angel in the Louis Vuitton Men Fall-Winter 2025 Fashion Show!" The tweet included a link to the show's livestream.
