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 Orchestral Performance
The show opened with a live orchestral rendition of "One-Winged Angel," Sephiroth's theme from Final Fantasy VII, as models showcased the latest luxury menswear collection.
Creative director Pharrell Williams curated the show's 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 amongst the predominantly pop selections. While the reason for its inclusion remains unstated, it's likely a testament to Williams' personal appreciation for the iconic track, possibly even reflecting a hidden Final Fantasy fandom. Williams composed or co-wrote all other songs featured, as noted in the livestream description.
