FF7 One-Winged Angel Soundtrack Featured in LV Fashion Show

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 is a testament to the enduring power of video game music.

A Live Orchestral Performance

The show opened with a live orchestra performing the dramatic "One-Winged Angel," Sephiroth's theme, as models showcased the latest luxury menswear collection. The choice of this powerful track, amidst a more pop-oriented soundtrack curated by Pharrell Williams (the show's creative director), is intriguing. While the other songs featured artists like The Weeknd, Playboy Carti, Don Toliver, SEVENTEEN, and BTS' j-hope, and were reportedly written and composed by Williams himself, the inclusion of "One-Winged Angel" (composed by Nobuo Uematsu) remains a captivating mystery. Perhaps it simply reflects Williams' personal appreciation for the piece, or maybe he's a secret Final Fantasy fan!

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

Square Enix's Delightful Surprise

Square Enix expressed their pleasant surprise at the inclusion of "One-Winged Angel" via their official Final Fantasy VII X (Twitter) account. They tweeted their delight at music director Pharrell Williams and his team's decision, sharing a link to the fashion show video.

Final Fantasy VII: A Timeless Classic

Final Fantasy VII's enduring popularity is undeniable. The story of Cloud Strife and his companions' fight against Shinra and Sephiroth has captivated gamers since its 1997 release. The subsequent Final Fantasy VII Remake Project, a multi-part reimagining of the classic, has further cemented its place in gaming history. The Remake Project, currently a planned trilogy, features updated graphics, expanded storylines, and engaging combat.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is available on PlayStation 5, with a PC release on Steam slated for January 23rd.
