Quote #163502
This is what I like about being a designer: You can’t really get it until you see it.

Interpretation
Mizrahi’s remark points to the essentially visual, experiential nature of design. Unlike arguments or instructions that can be fully conveyed in words, a garment or object often only “clicks” when it is seen—on a body, in motion, under light, and in relation to color and texture. The quote also hints at the designer’s pleasure in that reveal: the moment when an idea becomes legible to others through form rather than explanation. More broadly, it suggests a limit of language in aesthetic fields and defends intuition, prototyping, and presentation as central to creative work.
