"FF7's One-Winged Angel Played at LV Fashion Event"

The iconic Final Fantasy 7 soundtrack, "One-Winged Angel," made a surprising and thrilling appearance at the Louis Vuitton Men's Fall-Winter Fashion Show. This unexpected collaboration between high fashion and video game culture has caught the attention of fans worldwide. Let's delve into the details of this unique event!

Played By A Live Orchestra

The renowned theme of Final Fantasy 7's antagonist, Sephiroth, "One-Winged Angel," opened the Louis Vuitton show with grandeur. A live orchestra performed the majestic piece as male models showcased luxurious outfits on the runway. The creative force behind the show was musician and fashion designer Pharrell Williams, who curated the event's soundtrack.

Interestingly, "One-Winged Angel" stood out amidst a lineup of more contemporary pop tracks by artists like The Weeknd, Playboy Carti, Don Toliver, and K-POP stars SEVENTEEN and BTS' j-hope. Pharrell contributed to writing and composing all other songs featured in the show, except for this classic piece by Nobuo Uematsu. While the specific reason for choosing "One-Winged Angel" remains undisclosed, it's plausible that Pharrell's personal appreciation for the music, or perhaps a hidden love for Final Fantasy, played a role.

For those eager to witness this fusion of fashion and video game music, the livestream video is available on Louis Vuitton's official YouTube channel.
