The iconic Final Fantasy VII soundtrack, "One-Winged Angel," made a surprising appearance at the Louis Vuitton Men's Fall-Winter 2025 fashion show. Let's delve into this unexpected collaboration.
A Live Orchestra Performance
The show opened with a live orchestra performance of "One-Winged Angel," Sephiroth's theme. Male models showcased the latest luxury designs as the powerful music filled the runway.
Creative director Pharrell Williams curated the soundtrack, which featured a mix of pop artists like The Weeknd, Playboy Carti, Don Toliver, SEVENTEEN, and BTS' j-hope. The inclusion of "One-Winged Angel," composed by Nobuo Uematsu, stands out amidst the predominantly pop selections. While the reason for its inclusion remains unstated, it's likely a testament to Williams' personal appreciation for the music, perhaps even a hidden love for Final Fantasy.
The full fashion show livestream is available on the official Louis Vuitton YouTube channel.
