One-Winged Angel Featured In Louis Vuitton Fashion Showcase
Played By A Live Orchestra
The legendary video game soundtrack "One-Winged Angel," known as the theme for Final Fantasy 7's notorious villain Sephiroth, was the opening act for this year’s Louis Vuitton Men's Fall-Winter Fashion Show. A live orchestra delivered the majestic melody as models paraded down the runway, showcasing the latest in luxury fashion.
Pharrell Williams, the creative director of the show, curated the soundtrack. While the majority of the playlist leaned towards pop with artists like The Weeknd, Playboy Carti, Don Toliver, and K-POP stars SEVENTEEN and BTS' j-hope, "One-Winged Angel" stood out as a unique choice. Composed by the renowned Nobuo Uematsu, this track was the only one not penned by Pharrell. His selection of this piece could indicate a personal appreciation for the music, or perhaps a nod to his own fandom of the Final Fantasy series.
For those intrigued by the intersection of fashion and video game music, the event's livestream is available on Louis Vuitton's official YouTube channel.
Square Enix Is More Than Happy To Hear The News
Square Enix expressed their delight at the unexpected inclusion of "One-Winged Angel" in the Louis Vuitton show. On the official Final Fantasy 7 X (Twitter) account, they shared, "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!" accompanied by a link to the video.
Final Fantasy 7, The Gamers’ Favorite Final Fantasy
Final Fantasy 7 has long been cherished as one of the most beloved entries in the Final Fantasy saga. It tells the epic tale of Cloud Strife and his companions as they battle against the megacorporation Shinra and the fallen hero Sephiroth to save their world. Originally launched in 1997, it has become a cherished memory for gamers worldwide.
The game saw a revival almost two decades later when a surprise trailer was unveiled at E3 2015, followed by a gameplay showcase at PlayStation Experience 2015. The Final Fantasy 7 Remake Project is envisioned as a trilogy, with the third installment currently under development. This ambitious project reimagines the classic game with updated graphics, fresh content, dynamic combat, and new narratives.
"Final Fantasy 7 Remake," distinct from the broader Remake Project, is playable on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC. The sequel, "Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth," is available on PlayStation 5, with a PC version set to launch on Steam on January 23rd.
