One-Winged Angel Featured In Louis Vuitton Fashion Showcase
Played By A Live Orchestra
The legendary video game anthem, "One-Winged Angel," the theme of Final Fantasy 7's notorious antagonist Sephiroth, opened the Louis Vuitton Men’s Fall-Winter Fashion Show with a live orchestra performance. As models paraded down the runway in opulent attire, the majestic tune set a dramatic tone for the event.
Pharrell Williams, the creative director and a musician himself, curated the show's soundtrack. Interestingly, while the rest of the playlist leaned towards contemporary pop, featuring artists like The Weeknd, Playboy Carti, Don Toliver, and K-POP stars SEVENTEEN and BTS’ j-hope, "One-Winged Angel" stood out. Pharrell was involved in writing and composing all other tracks, but this piece, crafted by the renowned Nobuo Uematsu, was a unique choice. It’s speculated that Pharrell's selection might reflect his personal admiration for the track or even a hidden passion for Final Fantasy.
For those eager to witness this fusion of fashion and video game music, the livestream video is available on the Louis Vuitton official YouTube channel.
