French Post War Karl Lagerfeld Dessin de mode pour Tiziani (Woman in black and white costume). Circa 1965. Felt-tip pen and fabric samples on wove paper. 40 x 30 cm. Signed "No 711". - Minimally browned in the margins. Sheet slightly creased and partially with dot-shaped pressure marks. Very good overall. Expressive composition with reduced lines. Provenance: Tiziani Archives, Palm Beach Auctions, 2019 - Lagerfeld defined silhouettes, movements and textile structures with a few, precise strokes. He deliberately avoided excessive detail in order to draw the eye to the essentials - the shape, the drape of the fabric and the figure's aura. The use of felt-tip pen supported this aesthetic. The rich colours and the direct, uncorrectable line demanded concentration and creative will, which Karl Lagerfeld masterfully expresses here. Felt-tip pen and fabric samples on wove paper.
