Sephiroth, the “One-Winged Angel” Stuns at Louis Vuitton’s Fall-Winter 2025 Show

At the Louis Vuitton Men’s Fall-Winter 2025 Fashion Show on January 21, 2025, an unexpected yet thrilling crossover happened: the iconic theme song “One-Winged Angel” from Final Fantasy VII played in the background. The piece, linked to the infamous Sephiroth, was performed by a live orchestra, orchestrating a dramatic moment as models strutted down the runway.

Music director Pharrell Williams, known for his work on hits like “Happy,” selected the track, bringing an unusual but striking addition to the fashion event.

The appearance of “One-Winged Angel” in a high-profile fashion show marks the latest in a series of cultural crossovers for the track. Previously, we’ve seen wrestlers like Kenny Omega adopt a Sephiroth-inspired look to enter the ring while the same theme being played in the background.

Pharrell’s choice, though unspoken, adds an air of mystery, yet it undeniably fits within the show’s grandiosity, amplifying the luxurious aesthetic of Louis Vuitton with a touch of video game nostalgia.

As if this wasn’t enough, Final Fantasy VII Rebirth is also making waves, launching on PC on January 23, 2025, and marking a new chapter for the beloved series. The unexpected fusion of Final Fantasy VII’s haunting music with high fashion only emphasizes how timeless and influential the series’ music and imagery have become, even in the most surprising of settings. If you haven’t yet, give it a listen in all its glory during the full livestream below.
