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 bulk of the Tiziani Estate sketches and memorabilia offered in this auction derive from that remarkable collaboration along with other lots from the succeeding period when Guy Douvier had replaced Mr. Lagerfeld.

The Karl Lagerfeld drawings will be displayed for preview one week prior to the auction with doors open Mon.-Fri. 10am-5pm ET.
