One-Winged Angel Featured In Louis Vuitton Fashion Showcase
Played By A Live Orchestra
The renowned video game soundtrack, "One-Winged Angel," the character theme for Final Fantasy 7's antagonist Sephiroth, graced the opening of this year's Louis Vuitton Men’s Fall-Winter Fashion Show. As male models showcased the latest luxury clothing on the runway, a live orchestra performed the majestic tune, setting a dramatic and memorable tone for the event.
Pharrell Williams, the show's creative director, curated the soundtrack. While the rest of the playlist featured contemporary pop 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. Pharrell contributed to writing and composing the other tracks, but "One-Winged Angel" remains the work of the legendary Nobuo Uematsu. It's speculated that Pharrell's selection may reflect a personal affinity for the track or a nod to his fandom of the Final Fantasy series.
For those eager to witness this fusion of fashion and video game music, the livestream video is available on the official Louis Vuitton YouTube channel.
