Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, the second installment in the Final Fantasy VII Remake project, dropped in late February 2024. While reviews have been a bit mixed, with plenty of opinions on both sides, fans are still hyped for the final chapter of this officially planned trilogy, especially since FFVII remains one of the series' best-selling titles.
Today (January 22), 'One-Winged Angel' started trending on X in Japan. Naturally, everyone assumed it was about the iconic villain Sephiroth. Turns out, the reason was totally unexpected: luxury brand Louis Vuitton used the legendary BGM in their 2025 Fall/Winter Men's Fashion Show in Paris, leaving many absolutely stunned!
The show, which officially unveiled the Louis Vuitton 2025 Fall/Winter Men's Collection in Paris, was a collaboration between Pharrell Williams and NIGO. As a globally renowned music artist and producer, Pharrell Williams also served as the music director for the runway event.
For the runway music, they picked 'One-Winged Angel,' the iconic theme song for Sephiroth from Final Fantasy VII. The official Final Fantasy VII REMAKE X account even posted, saying: "Huge thanks to Music Director Pharrell Williams and his team!"

As Sephiroth's theme, 'One-Winged Angel' is instantly recognizable to any FF fan. The moment it blasted through the speakers, it blew away everyone watching the livestream and in the audience. That epic, powerful music perfectly matched the ambitious vibe of the Louis Vuitton 2025 Fall/Winter Men's Collection.
It's no secret that Pharrell Williams is a huge Japanophile, and using Final Fantasy VII's music definitely shows he's still got that playful spirit at 51! It's rare for game BGM to hit the fashion runway, but 'One-Winged Angel' truly proves it's an absolute banger across all genres.
