The iconic "One-Winged Angel" soundtrack from Final Fantasy 7 made a surprising yet thrilling appearance at Louis Vuitton's Men’s Fall-Winter Fashion Show. Dive deeper into this unexpected fusion of gaming and high fashion!
One-Winged Angel Featured In Louis Vuitton Fashion Showcase
Played By A Live Orchestra
The legendary video game soundtrack, "One-Winged Angel," the theme for Final Fantasy 7’s notorious antagonist Sephiroth, graced the opening of Louis Vuitton’s latest Men’s Fall-Winter Fashion Show. A live orchestra brought the majestic tune to life, setting the stage for male models showcasing luxurious attire on the runway.
Pharrell Williams, the creative director of the show, curated the soundtrack. While the rest of the playlist featured pop hits from artists like The Weeknd, Playboy Carti, Don Toliver, and K-POP sensations SEVENTEEN and BTS’ j-hope, "One-Winged Angel" stood out as a unique choice. Pharrell, who had a hand in writing and composing all other tracks, left "One-Winged Angel" untouched, a testament to the original composition by Nobuo Uematsu. This selection might hint at Pharrell’s personal affinity for the Final Fantasy series or simply a nod to the grandeur of the track itself.
For those eager to witness the blend of high fashion and video game music, the livestream is available on Louis Vuitton's official YouTube channel.
