LV Fashion Show Highlights FF7 One-Winged Angel Soundtrack

The legendary Final Fantasy VII track "One-Winged Angel" takes center stage at a Louis Vuitton fashion showcase. Read on to discover the details behind this unique crossover.

One-Winged Angel Takes the Runway

An unforgettable piece of video game music has made a bold appearance at this year’s Men’s Louis Vuitton Fall-Winter Fashion Show — none other than *"One-Winged Angel"*, the iconic theme of *Final Fantasy VII*'s legendary antagonist, Sephiroth. Serving as the dramatic opener for the event, the track was performed live by an orchestra as models walked the catwalk in high-end designer apparel.

Pharrell Williams, the show’s creative director and celebrated music producer, curated the soundtrack for the event. While most of the playlist leaned toward contemporary pop hits from artists like The Weeknd, Playboi Carti, Don Toliver, and K-POP acts such as SEVENTEEN and BTS’ j-hope, the inclusion of "One-Winged Angel" stood out as a surprising yet powerful choice. According to the official livestream description, Pharrell co-wrote or composed all other tracks featured in the show — with the exception of this timeless composition by renowned composer Nobuo Uematsu.

Though no official explanation has been given for the selection, it's possible that Pharrell is simply a fan of the track or perhaps even a hidden Final Fantasy enthusiast.

If you're curious to witness the fusion of luxury fashion and gaming culture firsthand, the full livestream is available for viewing on the official Louis Vuitton YouTube channel.

Square Enix Reacts Positively to the Unexpected Crossover

Square Enix expressed their delight upon learning about the feature, sharing a statement via the official Final Fantasy VII X (Twitter) account: “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!” They also included a link to the livestream for fans to enjoy the moment themselves.

Final Fantasy VII – A Beloved Entry in Gaming History

Final Fantasy VII remains one of the most cherished titles in the long-running Final Fantasy series. It follows the journey of Cloud Strife, a reluctant hero who joins forces with allies to take down the oppressive Shinra Corporation and the enigmatic villain Sephiroth. First released in 1997, the game has left a lasting legacy in the hearts of players worldwide.

After years of fan speculation and demand, Final Fantasy VII saw a major revival with a surprise announcement during E3 2015, followed by a gameplay reveal later that year at PlayStation Experience. The resulting Final Fantasy VII Remake Project is set to span three games, with the third installment currently in development. This reimagining brings the classic tale into the modern era with updated visuals, expanded storylines, and dynamic combat mechanics.

The first entry in the remake trilogy, Final Fantasy VII Remake, is playable on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC. Its sequel, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, launched exclusively on PlayStation 5, with a Steam release scheduled for January 23rd.
