Final Fantasy VII's "One-Winged Angel" Takes Center Stage at Louis Vuitton 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 saw a live orchestra perform the dramatic piece as models showcased the latest collection.
The show's creative director, Pharrell Williams, curated the soundtrack. While the rest of the playlist leaned towards 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. The reason for its selection remains unconfirmed, though it's speculated that Williams' personal appreciation for the piece, or perhaps a hidden fondness for Final Fantasy, played a role.
The full fashion show livestream is available on the official Louis Vuitton YouTube channel.
Square Enix, the creators of Final Fantasy VII, expressed their delight at the inclusion of "One-Winged Angel" on their official Final Fantasy VII X (Twitter) account, sharing a link to the show's recording.
Final Fantasy VII, originally released in 1997, holds a special place in the hearts of gamers worldwide. Its story of Cloud Strife and his fight against Shinra and Sephiroth captivated a generation.
The game's enduring popularity led to the multi-part Final Fantasy VII Remake project. The first installment, Final Fantasy VII Remake, is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC. The second, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, is currently available on PlayStation 5, with a PC release on Steam slated for January 23rd. The third and final part of the Remake project is currently under development.
