In a surprising blend of gaming and high fashion, the iconic Final Fantasy 7 soundtrack, "One-Winged Angel," graced the runway at this year's Louis Vuitton Men's Fall-Winter Fashion Show. This unexpected collaboration has caught the attention of fans and fashion enthusiasts alike.
One-Winged Angel Featured In Louis Vuitton Fashion Showcase
Played By A Live Orchestra
The legendary theme of Final Fantasy 7's antagonist, Sephiroth, opened the show, performed live by an orchestra. As models showcased Louis Vuitton's latest luxury pieces, the dramatic notes of "One-Winged Angel" set a unique tone for the event.
Pharrell Williams, the creative director behind the show, curated the soundtrack, which otherwise featured popular artists like The Weeknd, Playboy Carti, Don Toliver, SEVENTEEN, and BTS' j-hope. While Pharrell contributed to the composition of most tracks, "One-Winged Angel," created by Nobuo Uematsu, stood out as a bold choice. It's speculated that Pharrell's decision might stem from a personal appreciation for the Final Fantasy series or its iconic music.
For those intrigued by this fusion of fashion and video game culture, the full livestream is accessible on the Louis Vuitton official YouTube channel.
