FF7'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 the Louis Vuitton Men's Fall-Winter 2025 Fashion Show, electrifying the audience with its powerful presence.

A Live Orchestra Performance

The show opened with a breathtaking live orchestral rendition of the legendary track, accompanying male models as they showcased the latest Louis Vuitton collection. This unexpected choice of music, amidst a soundtrack otherwise leaning towards pop artists like The Weeknd, Playboy Carti, Don Toliver, SEVENTEEN, and BTS' j-hope, certainly caught the attention of viewers worldwide.

Creative director Pharrell Williams curated the show's music, composing or co-writing most of the selections. While no official reason has been given for including "One-Winged Angel"—composed by Nobuo Uematsu—it's a testament to the track's enduring power and perhaps a hint at Williams' personal appreciation for the Final Fantasy series.

The full show is available to watch on the official Louis Vuitton YouTube channel.

Square Enix's Delightful Surprise

Square Enix expressed their excitement over the unexpected inclusion on the official Final Fantasy VII X (Twitter) account, stating, "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.
