Description
International Postwar Lagerfeld, Karl Fashion sketch for Tiziani (Woman in a blue suit). c. 1965. Felt-tip pen and fabric swatches on vellum. 40 x 30 cm. Inscribed ‘No 795’. - A few small, scattered brown spots on both the front and back. Partial ink bleed through on the back. Overall, very good condition. An expressive, lively composition with confident line work. Provenance: Tiziani Archive, Rome – Estate of Raf Ravaioli – Private collection, Palm Beach, Florida – Tiziani Archives, Palm Beach Auctions, 2019. - The fashion drawings, executed in felt-tip pen, which Karl Lagerfeld produced for the Tiziani fashion label, are characterised by a particularly clear, luminous colour palette. Lagerfeld used the intense hues to effectively highlight fabrics, patterns and fashion details. The linework appears spontaneous and decisive, often with a distinctly dynamic flow, lending the designs an immediate, almost sketch-like freshness. Yet he always maintained stylistic control: lines and colours were applied with precision, never haphazardly or excessively. Felt-tip pen and fabric samples on wove paper. Signed ‘No 774’. Reverse side with partial colour bleeding through.

Lagerfeld used the intense tones to effectively emphasise fabrics, patterns and fashion details. The strokes appear spontaneous and decisive, often with an emphatically dynamic style, which lends the designs an immediate, almost sketch-like freshness. At the same time, he always maintained stylistic control: lines and colours were deliberately placed, never arbitrary or overloaded. *This lot is subject to standard tax.
