FFVII's One-Winged Angel Rocks Louis Vuitton Show

One-Winged Angel Soars onto the Louis Vuitton Runway

The iconic Final Fantasy VII soundtrack, "One-Winged Angel," made a surprise appearance at Louis Vuitton's Men's Fall-Winter 2025 Fashion Show. This unexpected collaboration saw a live orchestra perform the dramatic piece as models showcased the latest collection.

A Live Orchestra Performance

The show's creative director, Pharrell Williams, curated the soundtrack. While the show featured a mix of pop hits from artists like The Weeknd, Playboy Carti, Don Toliver, SEVENTEEN, and BTS' j-hope—all reportedly co-written or composed by Williams—the inclusion of Nobuo Uematsu's "One-Winged Angel" stood out. The reason for its inclusion remains a mystery, although it's likely a testament to Williams' personal appreciation for the music, perhaps even a hidden Final Fantasy fandom.

The full fashion show livestream is available on the official Louis Vuitton YouTube channel for those eager to witness this unique blend of high fashion and video game music.

Square Enix's Delightful Surprise

Square Enix expressed their excitement over the unexpected inclusion on the official Final Fantasy VII X (Twitter) account, tweeting, "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 included a link to the show's livestream.

Final Fantasy VII: A Gaming Legend

Final Fantasy VII, the story of Cloud Strife and his fight against Shinra and Sephiroth, holds a special place in the hearts of gamers worldwide. Originally released in 1997, its enduring popularity led to the Final Fantasy VII Remake Project, a multi-part reimagining of the classic.

The Final Fantasy VII Remake (not to be confused with the entire Remake Project) is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the second installment, is currently available on PlayStation 5, with a PC release via Steam scheduled for January 23rd. The third and final part of the Remake Project is currently under development.
