Style makes you feel great because it takes your mind off the fact that you’re going to die.

Mizrahi’s line treats fashion less as vanity than as a psychological strategy. “Style” becomes a form of everyday transcendence: the deliberate shaping of appearance and taste can generate pleasure, confidence, and a sense of control. The dark punchline—mortality—casts style as a distraction from existential anxiety, akin to art, humor, or ritual. The quote also implies that style is not merely about clothes but about attention and self-invention: by focusing on aesthetic choices, one temporarily steps outside fear and finitude. Its significance lies in collapsing high-fashion glamour into a candid, human motive—coping with the inevitability of death.
