Ironically, Huckabee may benefit from media stereotypes. To people who think of evangelical leaders as Bible thumpers, a pastor playing Devil with a Blue Dress On on bass is like a dog walking on its hind legs?though rock bands are common in modern churches. "In New York and L.A., there's this complete ignorance about what Evangelicals are really like," says Alexandra Pelosi, a documentarian (and House Speaker Nancy Pelosi's daughter) who made the HBO movie Friends of God, about evangelical culture. "When I visited megachurches, the pastors were all making Napoleon Dynamite references...

Still, designers did their best to give coats a grand, new twist, whether they were supersized shearlings like the one that opened Dolce & Gabbana's rock 'n' roll-inspired show or the exotic, Tibetan-inspired poncho shearling and paisley embroidered coats at Alexander McQueen's Mongolian-meets-Mayan show. Meanwhile, Frida Gianinni took the Gucci man on an exotic trip to post-revolutionary Russia, returning with some pretty extravagant greatcoats festooned with Cossack-inspired embroideries...
