Final Fantasy VII's One-Winged Angel Takes the Louis Vuitton Runway
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 saw the powerful track, famously associated with Sephiroth, performed live by an orchestra as models showcased the latest collection.
A Live Orchestral Performance
Creative director Pharrell Williams curated the show's soundtrack, which included a mix of pop artists like The Weeknd, Playboy Carti, Don Toliver, SEVENTEEN, and BTS' j-hope. The inclusion of One-Winged Angel, composed by Nobuo Uematsu, stands out as a unique choice amidst the predominantly pop-focused playlist. While the reason for its inclusion remains unstated, it's a testament to the track's enduring power and perhaps reflects Williams' personal appreciation for the Final Fantasy series. The full show is available on the official Louis Vuitton YouTube channel.

Square Enix expressed their delight at the unexpected inclusion on their official Final Fantasy VII X (Twitter) account, highlighting Pharrell Williams' and the team's decision to feature One-Winged Angel.
