One-Winged Angel Featured In Louis Vuitton Fashion Showcase
Played By A Live Orchestra
The iconic video game soundtrack, One-Winged Angel, renowned as the character theme for Final Fantasy 7's antagonist Sephiroth, graced this year's Men's Louis Vuitton Fall-Winter Fashion Show. This majestic track opened the show, performed live by an orchestra as models showcased luxury attire on the runway.
Pharrell Williams, serving as the creative director, curated the event's soundtrack. While most selections leaned towards contemporary pop, featuring artists like The Weeknd, Playboy Carti, Don Toliver, SEVENTEEN, and BTS' j-hope, the choice of One-Winged Angel, composed by Nobuo Uematsu, stands out. Although Pharrell contributed to the composition of the other tracks, the inclusion of One-Winged Angel might reflect his personal admiration for the piece or a nod to the Final Fantasy series.
Fashion enthusiasts and video game fans alike can relive this unique blend of style and gaming culture by watching the livestream on Louis Vuitton's official YouTube channel.
Square Enix Is More Than Happy To Hear The News
Square Enix expressed their delight over the unexpected feature on the official Final Fantasy 7 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 post included a link to the video, showcasing their enthusiasm for the collaboration.
Final Fantasy 7, The Gamers’ Favorite Final Fantasy
Final Fantasy 7 remains one of the most cherished entries in the storied franchise, captivating players with the tale of protagonist Cloud Strife and his companions as they combat the threats posed by the megacorporation Shinra and the once-celebrated SOLDIER, Sephiroth. Launched in 1997, it has left an indelible mark on the hearts of gamers worldwide.
The game's legacy was reignited with the announcement of the Final Fantasy 7 Remake Project at E3 2015, followed by a gameplay reveal later that year. This ambitious project, envisioned as a trilogy, aims to reimagine the original with updated visuals, new content, refined combat, and expanded narratives. The first installment, Final Fantasy 7 Remake, is playable on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC. The second part, Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth, is available on PlayStation 5, with a PC version set to launch on Steam on January 23rd. The third and final chapter is currently under development, promising to bring the saga to a modern audience.
