out of this world looks at Vivienne Westwood/AP Photo: Thibault CamusAs Friday's shows are wrapping up in Paris, the first photos are trickling in around the web, and so far it looks like fashion has taken a turn for the fantastical, with wild colors and shapes featured in many of the shows including:

Trench coats peplums and shoulder pads hinted at 1940’s era screen sirens while bright colors and mini skirts added an 80’s retro kick at Christian Dior, Full slide show here.

Fabric folds and crafty construction added to a classic collection at Issey Miyake Full slide show here .
