LV Catwalk Thunders with Timeless Melody "One-Winged Angel"

One-Winged Angel Soars onto the Louis Vuitton Runway

The iconic Final Fantasy VII soundtrack, One-Winged Angel, made a surprise appearance at the Louis Vuitton Men's Fall-Winter 2025 fashion show, creating an unexpected and memorable fusion of high fashion and video game music.

A Live Orchestral Performance

The show opened with a powerful rendition of One-Winged Angel performed by a live orchestra, providing a dramatic backdrop as models showcased the latest Louis Vuitton menswear collection. This unexpected choice of music, a stark contrast to the predominantly pop-oriented soundtrack curated by creative director Pharrell Williams, sparked considerable interest. While Williams composed or co-wrote the other tracks, including contributions from artists like The Weeknd, Playboy Carti, Don Toliver, SEVENTEEN, and BTS' j-hope, the inclusion of Nobuo Uematsu's masterpiece remains a captivating mystery. Perhaps a testament to Williams' personal appreciation for the iconic score?

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

Square Enix's Delightful Surprise

Square Enix, the creators of Final Fantasy VII, expressed their delight at the unexpected inclusion of One-Winged Angel, sharing their excitement on the official Final Fantasy VII X (Twitter) account. They lauded music director Pharrell Williams and his team for the choice.

Final Fantasy VII: A Timeless Classic

Final Fantasy VII, originally released in 1997, holds a special place in the hearts of gamers worldwide. The story of Cloud Strife and his companions' fight against Shinra and Sephiroth captivated a generation.
