...Akira describes his menswear as "a feminine collection but with a masculine shape." The Kyoto-born designer fashions clothes he'd wear himself - not a bad guide, since his "Comme des Gar?ons meets Bonds T shirt" style recently made the Sydney Morning Herald's best-dressed list. His reversible floral-print pants might not be for everybody, but his convention-defying couture should endure. "It's perfect in the wild," he says of his hand-washable linen suit.

He receives visitors to his office in the same casual attire he wears at the pulpit--khaki pants, floral cotton shirt and rubber-soled shoes. That suits his members just fine. "From the beginning, I was impressed by his humility," says Patricia Miller, who has attended Saddleback since 1998. "When I joined, he asked all the new members to form a circle and lay our hands on one another's shoulders. Then he stood in the middle...
