LV Fashion Show Features Iconic 'One-Winged Angel'

Louis Vuitton's Fall-Winter 2025 Men's Fashion Show Featured Final Fantasy VII's Iconic "One-Winged Angel"

The Louis Vuitton Fall-Winter 2025 Men's Fashion Show opened with an unexpected and thrilling musical choice: Nobuo Uematsu's "One-Winged Angel," the iconic theme song for Final Fantasy VII's antagonist, Sephiroth. A live orchestra performed the dramatic piece as models showcased the new collection.

Creative director Pharrell Williams curated the show's soundtrack, which featured a mix of pop artists like The Weeknd, Playboy Carti, Don Toliver, SEVENTEEN, and BTS's j-hope. The inclusion of "One-Winged Angel," a decidedly non-pop choice, has sparked curiosity. While no official explanation has been given, it's speculated that Williams, perhaps a fan of the game, simply appreciated the piece's dramatic power. The livestream is available on the official Louis Vuitton YouTube channel.

Square Enix's Delightful Surprise

Square Enix expressed their delight at the unexpected inclusion on their official Final Fantasy VII X (Twitter) account, stating their happiness at the music director's choice.

Final Fantasy VII's Enduring Legacy

Final Fantasy VII, originally released in 1997, remains a beloved title in the franchise. The story of Cloud Strife and his companions' fight against Shinra and Sephiroth continues to resonate with gamers worldwide. The ongoing Final Fantasy VII Remake project, a multi-part reimagining of the classic, has further cemented its place in gaming history.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is available on PlayStation 5, with a PC release on Steam scheduled for January 23rd.
