The iconic Final Fantasy 7 soundtrack, "One-Winged Angel," made a surprising appearance at Louis Vuitton's Men’s Fall-Winter Fashion Show. Dive into the details of this unique collaboration between gaming and high fashion!
One-Winged Angel Featured In Louis Vuitton Fashion Showcase
Played By A Live Orchestra
The world of video games collided with luxury fashion as "One-Winged Angel," the character theme of Final Fantasy 7's notorious antagonist Sephiroth, opened Louis Vuitton's Men’s Fall-Winter Fashion Show. The track, known for its grandeur, was performed live by an orchestra, setting the stage for male models to showcase the latest in luxury wear.
Pharrell Williams, the creative director of the show, curated the soundtrack. While the choice of "One-Winged Angel" among more pop-centric selections from artists like The Weeknd, Playboy Carti, Don Toliver, SEVENTEEN, and BTS' j-hope might seem unexpected, it adds a layer of intrigue. Pharrell contributed to the composition of every other track played, except for "One-Winged Angel," which was crafted by the legendary Nobuo Uematsu. It's plausible that Pharrell's choice reflects a personal affinity for the track or a nod to his appreciation for Final Fantasy.
For those eager to witness this fusion of fashion and gaming, the livestream video is accessible on Louis Vuitton's official YouTube channel.
Square Enix Is More Than Happy To Hear The News
Square Enix expressed delight over the unexpected feature of "One-Winged Angel" at the Louis Vuitton show. The official Final Fantasy 7 X (Twitter) account shared their enthusiasm: "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!" along with a link to the video.
