The iconic Final Fantasy VII soundtrack, "One-Winged Angel," made a surprising appearance at the Louis Vuitton Men's Fall-Winter 2025 fashion show. This unexpected collaboration has generated significant buzz among gamers and fashion enthusiasts.

A Live Orchestra Performance

The show opened with a powerful rendition of "One-Winged Angel," performed by a live orchestra. Male models showcased the latest Louis Vuitton menswear collection as the dramatic music filled the venue.

Creative director Pharrell Williams curated the show's soundtrack, which featured a mix of pop artists such as 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 reason for its inclusion remains unstated, 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.
