The iconic Final Fantasy VII soundtrack, "One-Winged Angel," made a surprising appearance at the Louis Vuitton Men's Fall-Winter 2025 fashion show. This unexpected collaboration has garnered significant attention.
A Live Orchestral Performance
The show opened with a live orchestra performing the powerful "One-Winged Angel," Sephiroth's theme. Models showcased the latest luxury menswear collection to the dramatic backdrop of the music.
Creative director Pharrell Williams curated the show's soundtrack. While the selection included pop artists like The Weeknd, Playboy Carti, Don Toliver, SEVENTEEN, and BTS' j-hope, the inclusion of "One-Winged Angel" stands out. The livestream description credits Williams with composing most of the music, excluding Nobuo Uematsu's iconic composition. Williams' choice may simply reflect his personal appreciation for the piece, or perhaps a hidden love for the Final Fantasy franchise.
The full fashion show livestream is available on the official Louis Vuitton YouTube channel.
