First of all, there was a pentagram traced in red in a black-sand circle, with an inverted pyramid hanging over it. As the show started, a macabre film–of naked women, swarming locusts, faces decaying to skulls, and blood and fire–started to play above the models’ heads.
More recent video from shows in January: Video Link, Video Link 2, Video Link 3.
The show opened with a whirling storm roaring upward out of a central void in the podium. Then, on walked a girl in a dress that–through the magic of LED technology–lit up and played its own movie, a colorful pixelated grid inspired by a cityscape, as seen from space via Google Earth.
Girl, better not wear that in Boston.
Video here (but you have to hunt for it). More on SHOWstudio 1, 2, 3.

Reader comment: Judith Anderson says,
This Link shows the “fashions” that Galliano did for Dior for the Spring/Summer 2007 collection, and they have to be the most gorgeous, sumptuous, lovely dresses I’ve ever seen. According to the text, Galliano spent a lot of time in Japan and captured the traditional kimono and obi, and “origamied” it. One looks like a Romulan outfit, but most of the rest are sooooo beautiful.
