The iconic Final Fantasy VII soundtrack, "One-Winged Angel," made a surprising appearance at the Louis Vuitton Men's Fall-Winter 2025 fashion show. Discover the details of this unexpected collaboration!

A Live Orchestral Performance

The legendary track, the theme song for Final Fantasy VII's antagonist Sephiroth, opened the show. A live orchestra performed the powerful piece as models showcased the latest luxury menswear collection.

Creative director Pharrell Williams curated the show's soundtrack. The inclusion of "One-Winged Angel," amidst a predominantly pop-focused selection (featuring artists like The Weeknd, Playboy Carti, Don Toliver, SEVENTEEN, and BTS' j-hope), is intriguing. While the livestream description credits Williams with composing most of the music, "One-Winged Angel" (composed by Nobuo Uematsu) stands out. Perhaps Williams is simply a fan of the iconic piece, or a secret Final Fantasy enthusiast.

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 on the official Final Fantasy VII X (Twitter) account, stating, "We're more than happy to hear music director Pharell Williams and team have included One-Winged Angel in the Louis Vuitton Men Fall-Winter 2025 Fashion Show!" Their tweet included a link to the show's video.
