LV Show Features FF7's One-Winged Angel

One-Winged Angel Soars into Louis Vuitton's Fall-Winter 2025 Fashion Show

The iconic Final Fantasy VII soundtrack, "One-Winged Angel," made a surprising and unforgettable appearance at Louis Vuitton's Men's Fall-Winter 2025 Fashion Show. This powerful piece, the theme song of the game's infamous antagonist Sephiroth, opened the show with a breathtaking performance by a live orchestra. Male models, dressed in the latest Louis Vuitton designs, walked the runway to the dramatic and soaring music.

Creative director Pharrell Williams curated the show's soundtrack, which featured a mix of pop artists including The Weeknd, Playboy Carti, Don Toliver, SEVENTEEN, and BTS' j-hope. The inclusion of "One-Winged Angel," composed by the legendary Nobuo Uematsu, stands out as a unique and unexpected choice among the more contemporary selections. While the reason for its inclusion remains officially unstated, it's a testament to the enduring power of the music and perhaps hints at Williams' own appreciation for the classic RPG. The full show is available to view on the official Louis Vuitton YouTube channel.

Square Enix's Delightful Surprise

Square Enix, the creators of Final Fantasy VII, expressed their delight at the unexpected inclusion on their official Final Fantasy VII X (Twitter) account, tweeting, "We're more than happy to hear music director Pharell 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.
