There Is a Streaming Service Dedicated to John Galliano's Fashion Shows It's called GallianoFlix and it was created by an Indian fashion writer

If you've always wanted to catch up on every John Galliano show in chronological order — without spending hours trawling through YouTube videos uploaded fifteen years ago, old reviews, and more or less forgotten forums — there's now a place where you can do exactly that. It's called GallianoFlix and, as the name suggests, it works more or less like a streaming platform devoted entirely to the designer's career: you pick a collection and start watching.

Inside, you'll find shows from the John Galliano brand, from Givenchy, from his years at Dior, and finally from Maison Margiela, along with reviews, show notes, sources, and material to help you understand what was happening around each collection. Behind it all is Nidhi Srinivasan, known online as Aira, a 23-year-old fashion writer and content creator based in Chennai, India.

How did GallianoFlix come about?

The idea came after the cancellation of John Galliano: Horizons, the exhibition that the Costume Institute at the Metropolitan Museum of Art in New York had been set to dedicate to the designer in 2027, and which, following controversy surrounding his personal history, will no longer go ahead. Aira had already decided to use the occasion to study Galliano's work systematically, and once the exhibition fell through, she carried on doing so on her own terms.

The project was born, then, from a problem that will be familiar to anyone who has ever tried to research fashion online: the information exists — it's just scattered everywhere. As she told The Nod, researching a single show would leave her with dozens of tabs open across footage, reviews, books, and archive images. At some point she started using vibe coding to pull everything together in one place, building what was initially meant to be nothing more than a personal tool for navigating over a hundred shows.

How does GallianoFlix work?

The site doesn't simply collect runway videos — something the internet has been doing for years in a more or less chaotic fashion — but instead tries to give shape to all that material. The collections follow Galliano's career in chronological order, and each period can be read in the context of the one before it, thanks to a streaming-platform format that makes browsing intuitive.

Within just a few days, this kind of homemade archive had begun circulating far more widely than expected. Aira told The Nod that she recorded over 34,000 visits in three days, while people who had worked directly with Galliano began sending her corrections, memories, footage, and new sources. The project even reached industry heavyweights such as Law Roach and Pat McGrath, gradually transforming from a personal tool into an archive built through a form of collective knowledge.

The internet is building its own fashion archives

GallianoFlix, then, speaks to something that goes beyond Galliano himself. In recent years, fashion archivism has become one of the internet's defining obsessions: old campaigns resurface on Instagram, entire runway shows are re-uploaded to YouTube, and TikTok turns collections from twenty years ago into shared references for a generation that, when those shows first hit the runway, may not even have been born yet.

The material has always been there — what's changing is who organises it and how it's made accessible. A portion of the work we once associated almost exclusively with museums, libraries, and institutional archives is now also being done by people who begin a piece of research simply because they want to understand something better, and end up creating a tool that thousands of other users can draw on.

Aira is already working on McQueenFlix, dedicated to Alexander McQueen, with the ultimate goal of eventually arriving at something like a RunwayFlix — where you can choose a designer and trace their entire history through their shows. If that actually happens, are you ready to binge-watch the history of fashion?
