In a surprising fusion of gaming and high fashion, the iconic "One-Winged Angel" soundtrack from Final Fantasy 7 made a stunning appearance at this year's Louis Vuitton Men's Fall-Winter Fashion Show. This unexpected collaboration brought the world of video games into the realm of luxury fashion, captivating audiences with its grandeur.

Played By A Live Orchestra

The event kicked off with "One-Winged Angel," the character theme for Final Fantasy 7's notorious antagonist, Sephiroth, performed live by an orchestra. As the powerful melody filled the venue, male models showcased Louis Vuitton's latest luxury apparel on the runway. The choice of this video game soundtrack as the opening number was a bold move by the show's creative director, Pharrell Williams, who curated the event's music selection.

While the rest of the playlist leaned towards contemporary pop with artists like The Weeknd, Playboy Carti, Don Toliver, and K-POP stars SEVENTEEN and BTS' j-hope, "One-Winged Angel" stood out as a unique choice. Composed by the renowned Nobuo Uematsu, this track was the only one not written or composed by Pharrell himself. The inclusion of such a grandiose piece could suggest Pharrell's personal appreciation for the Final Fantasy series or simply his admiration for the music.

Fashion enthusiasts and gamers alike can relive this unique moment through the livestream video, available on the Louis Vuitton official YouTube channel.
