The iconic Final Fantasy VII soundtrack, "One-Winged Angel," made a surprise appearance at the Louis Vuitton Men's Fall-Winter 2025 fashion show. This unexpected collaboration has garnered significant attention.
The show opened with a live orchestra performance of "One-Winged Angel," Sephiroth's dramatic theme. Models showcased the new collection to the powerful 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 more contemporary selections. While the reasoning behind its inclusion remains unclear, it's speculated that Williams is simply a fan of the piece, or perhaps a secret Final Fantasy enthusiast.
The full fashion show livestream is available on the official Louis Vuitton YouTube channel.
Square Enix expressed their surprise and delight at the inclusion of "One-Winged Angel" via their official Final Fantasy VII X (Twitter) account. They shared a tweet celebrating the collaboration and linked to the fashion show video.
