Final Fantasy's Iconic Theme Resonates on LV Catwalk

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 generated significant buzz.

A Live Orchestra Performance

The show opened with a live orchestra performance of the powerful "One-Winged Angel," providing a dramatic backdrop to the runway models showcasing Louis Vuitton's latest menswear collection.

Musician and fashion designer Pharrell Williams, the show's creative director, curated the soundtrack. While the rest of the playlist leaned towards pop artists like The Weeknd, Playboy Carti, Don Toliver, SEVENTEEN, and BTS's j-hope, the inclusion of "One-Winged Angel"—composed by Nobuo Uematsu—was a striking contrast. 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 show is available on the official Louis Vuitton YouTube channel.

Square Enix's Delightful Surprise

Square Enix expressed their delight at the unexpected inclusion, tweeting their approval via the official Final Fantasy VII X account. They shared their excitement and linked to the fashion show video.

Final Fantasy VII: A Timeless Classic

Final Fantasy VII, the beloved RPG featuring Cloud Strife's fight against Shinra and Sephiroth, continues to resonate with gamers worldwide. Its enduring popularity is underscored by the ongoing Final Fantasy VII Remake Project, a multi-part reimagining of the original game.

Final Fantasy VII Remake is available on PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, and PC. Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is currently available on PlayStation 5, with a PC release (Steam) slated for January 23rd. The third installment is currently under development.
