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 Orchestra Performance
The show opened with a live orchestra performing the powerful "One-Winged Angel," Sephiroth's theme. Male models showcased the latest Louis Vuitton menswear collection to the dramatic music.
Creative director Pharrell Williams curated the soundtrack, which featured a mix of 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 amongst the predominantly pop selections. While the reason for its inclusion remains unstated, it's speculated that Williams is simply a fan of the piece, or perhaps a secret Final Fantasy enthusiast.
