I got the feeling Calvin got paired with the couple because one was Asian - but all Asians are not alike, just like all other races/nationalities. Calvin knew nadda about Korean Culture.
You would think that between the two of them - both being of Asian heritage and all - they would be capable of recognizing that.
The client did since he was willing to try and explain. On the other hand, Calvin not only had no interest in designing a Korean-style kimono, he also had no interest in listening to the client about color. You'd also think that if he didn't know about the style, he would at least been willing to listen on the color.
But he didn't.
He wasn't interested in listening to the client AT ALL.
It's true Calvin didn't know anything about Korean culture. And I'd bet none of the other designers did either. So really that is not an excuse. It's highly likely that if another designer had been in charge of the design it would have been much better simply because that designer would have been willing to listen to the client.
What if the client had been, say, Scottish and wanted some sort of kilt designed? Do you really think Calvin would have behaved any better?
