One original fashion design sketch from the Tiziani Archives storage box labeled "Karl Lagerfeld." Provenance: Estate of Tiziani | Estate of Raf Ravaioli | Private Collection, Palm Beach, FL.

In 1963, American designer Evans Richards opened a fashion house in Rome under the name Tiziani, employing Karl Lagerfeld as his fellow couturier in the firm. Their first collection was a huge success, and within a short time, faithful clients included Elizabeth Taylor, Doris Duke, Gina Lollobrigida, Principessa Borghese and many others. Mr. Lagerfeld remained with the firm until 1969. The Tiziani Estate sketches and photos offered in this auction derive from that remarkable collaboration. Note, lot images include a group photo of three related drawings. They are available as separate consecutive lots in this sale.
