Clothes Quote by Alber Elbaz
![“I think that because I'm overweight, [my] fantasy was lightness. So I project my fantasy to the clothes, and now all I do is light, light clothes because it's the one thing I don't have. That is why I'm too afraid to lose weight because then I might make heavy clothes.” quote by Alber Elbaz](https://sms4smile.com/quotes/img-quotes/257/alber-elbaz-3230_clothes_i-think-that-because-i-m-overweight-my-f_775218.jpg)
