Final Fantasy VII's "One-Winged Angel" Takes the Louis Vuitton Runway

The iconic Final Fantasy VII soundtrack made a surprising appearance at the Louis Vuitton Men's Fall-Winter 2025 fashion show. Read on to discover more about this unexpected collaboration!

A Live Orchestral Performance

The show opened with a live orchestral rendition of "One-Winged Angel," Sephiroth's dramatic theme. Male models showcased the new collection as the powerful music filled the venue.

Creative director Pharrell Williams curated the soundtrack. The choice of "One-Winged Angel," a piece vastly different from the show's other pop selections (including tracks by The Weeknd, Playboy Carti, Don Toliver, SEVENTEEN, and BTS' j-hope), is intriguing. While Williams composed or co-wrote the other songs, "One-Winged Angel" (composed by Nobuo Uematsu) stands as a testament to either Williams' personal appreciation for the music or a hidden love for Final Fantasy.

The full show is available on the official Louis Vuitton YouTube channel.

Square Enix's Delightful Surprise

Square Enix expressed their surprise and delight on the official Final Fantasy VII X (Twitter) account, stating their happiness at the inclusion of "One-Winged Angel" in the show. They shared a link to the livestream video in their tweet.
