If I had to guess, I'd say most people don't know exactly what they're looking for, or have trouble articulating it. So I'd guess it's not always "client-led design', but rather, they see a portfolio and just go with a design theme, or otherwise don't have a well-developed aesthetic and are easily influenced to go with what they think is cool or popular, because that's what they see the firm doing... Hat's off to DT's marketing in that regard.

From what I hear around the industry, DT does not allow for much, if any, client input. It's purely ego driven design and you are correct, people flock to a designer because of their style most of the time, in that regard it is self-perpetuating.
Curious about your new project on the horizon and who you are using for your design? Feel free to take it to PM if you are willing to share, no worries if you want it kept private.
