LV Fashion Show Highlights FF7's One-Winged Angel Soundtrack

The iconic One-Winged Angel soundtrack from Final Fantasy VII has made a stunning crossover appearance at Louis Vuitton’s Men’s Fall-Winter Fashion Show for 2025. Known for its grandeur and emotional depth, the track—composed by the legendary Nobuo Uematsu—was performed live by an orchestra, setting the tone for the runway presentation. This unexpected collaboration highlights the timeless appeal of video game music and its growing influence in mainstream culture.

A Symphony Meets High Fashion

Pharrell Williams, renowned musician and fashion designer, acted as the creative director for the show. While much of the soundtrack featured contemporary hits from artists like The Weeknd, K-pop sensations SEVENTEEN, and soloists such as j-hope from BTS, the inclusion of One-Winged Angel stood out. Though there’s no official statement explaining the choice, fans speculate that Williams—a known gaming enthusiast—may simply appreciate the track’s cinematic power or perhaps harbors a secret love for the Final Fantasy series. For those eager to relive this unforgettable moment, the full livestream is available on Louis Vuitton’s official YouTube channel.

Square Enix Expresses Delight

In response to the news, Square Enix couldn’t hide their excitement. On their official Final Fantasy VII X Twitter account, they expressed gratitude: "We’re more than happy to hear Music Director Pharrell Williams and team have included One-Winged Angel in the Louis Vuitton Men Fall-Winter 2025 Fashion Show!" The tweet linked directly to the livestream, further emphasizing their pride in this cultural milestone.

Final Fantasy VII: A Timeless Classic

Released in 1997, Final Fantasy VII remains one of the most beloved entries in the storied franchise. The game follows the journey of Cloud Strife as he battles against corporate villainy and the enigmatic Sephiroth. Nearly three decades later, the series received a revival with the highly anticipated Final Fantasy VII Remake, which reimagines the classic tale with cutting-edge visuals and innovative gameplay mechanics. The sequel, Rebirth, continues the saga exclusively on PlayStation 5, while the PC version of the first installment will launch on Steam on January 23rd.

This unexpected yet harmonious blend of music and fashion underscores the enduring legacy of Final Fantasy VII and its impact beyond gaming.
