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. Let's delve into this unexpected collaboration.

A Live Orchestral Performance

The show opened with a live orchestra performing the powerful "One-Winged Angel," Sephiroth's theme. Male models showcased the latest luxury designs to the dramatic music.

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 – was a notable exception. Williams' personal appreciation for the piece, or perhaps a hidden Final Fantasy fandom, likely explains its presence. The official livestream is available on the Louis Vuitton YouTube channel.

Square Enix's Delightful Surprise

Square Enix, the creators of Final Fantasy VII, expressed their delight on their official Final Fantasy VII X (Twitter) account, stating, "We're thrilled that music director Pharrell Williams and his team included 'One-Winged Angel' in the Louis Vuitton Men's Fall-Winter 2025 Fashion Show!" They included a link to the show's video.
