LV Fashion Show Highlights FF7's One-Winged Angel Soundtrack

The iconic "One-Winged Angel" soundtrack from Final Fantasy 7 made a surprising appearance at this year's Louis Vuitton Men's Fall-Winter Fashion Show, blending the worlds of high fashion and video game culture. This unexpected collaboration showcases the versatility and timeless appeal of the legendary track.

Played By A Live Orchestra

"One-Winged Angel," the character theme for Final Fantasy 7's notorious villain Sephiroth, kicked off the fashion show with a live orchestral performance. As male models showcased Louis Vuitton's latest luxury clothing, the grandiose tune set a majestic tone for the event.

Pharrell Williams, the show's creative director and a renowned musician and fashion designer, curated the soundtrack. While the rest of the playlist featured popular artists like The Weeknd, Playboy Carti, Don Toliver, SEVENTEEN, and BTS' j-hope, "One-Winged Angel" stood out with its epic composition by Nobuo Uematsu. Although Pharrell was involved in writing and composing the other tracks, the choice of "One-Winged Angel" might reflect his personal appreciation for the sound or even a secret affinity for the Final Fantasy series.

For those intrigued by the fusion of fashion and video game music, the livestream of the event is available on Louis Vuitton's official YouTube channel.

Square Enix Is Thrilled

Square Enix, the creators of Final Fantasy, expressed their delight on the official Final Fantasy 7 X (Twitter) account. They tweeted, "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!" alongside a link to the video.

Final Fantasy 7, A Beloved Classic

Final Fantasy 7 remains one of the most cherished entries in the long-running series, captivating players with the tale of protagonist Cloud Strife and his mission to save the world from the evil corporation Shinra and the fallen hero Sephiroth. Since its debut in 1997, it has become a beloved part of many gamers' childhoods.

The game's revival was sparked by a surprise trailer at E3 2015, followed by a gameplay reveal at PlayStation Experience 2015. The Final Fantasy 7 Remake Project aims to retell the iconic story in a trilogy, with the third installment currently in development. The project enhances the original with modern graphics, new content, engaging combat, and fresh storylines.

"Final Fantasy 7 Remake" is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC. The second part, "Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth," is playable on PlayStation 5, with a PC release scheduled for Steam on January 23rd.
