D'Artagnan.
" The late fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld (1933- 2018 ) was an interesting controversial figure in many respects and a man of eclectic taste.
If you look at the two Sotheby's auctions of his effects in December 2018 you will see what I mean.
Turning to his Wikipedia entry you will see homes he lived in; a sufficiently large number where he could store his exceedingly large collection of furniture ,artefacts and art works etc from many eras.
In 2007, Lagerfeld famously spoke of refusing to keep any posessions. “I throw everything away,” Lagerfeld told The New Yorker. “The most important piece of furniture in a house is the garbage can! I keep no archives of my own, no sketches, no photos, no clothes – nothing!”
Prior to working for Chanel ; Largerfeld worked for Fendi (which he later owned )as well as Chloé.
In his very early years he worked for Jean Patou, Balmain and Tiziani. In 1963 Lagerfeld began working at the Roman couture house Tiziani where he stayed for six years .The Italian fashion house was patronised by Liz Taylor, Doris Duke and Gina Lollobrigida.
In 2014, Palm Beach Modern Auctions announced that many of Lagerfeld's early sketches for the House of Tiziani in Rome would be auctioned.Here are my some of my favourite fashion sketches from various sources and I have to confess I do like the work he did for Chloé.
#1 “Astoria” dress 1967

For this 1967 “Astoria” dress, he took inspiration from Thomas Malory’s book Le Morte d’Arthur, illustrated by Aubrey Beardsley in 1893.
The full-length, high-necked, and long-sleeved design stood out in a period of micro-mini, body-revealing styles, but Lagerfeld’s unique design sensibility is even more evident in the floral motifs hand-painted by Nicole Lefort.
The expanse of ivory silk crepe used to make the dress acted as a canvas for an array of colourful, stylized flowers that swirl around the entire garment – so precisely rendered that they look screen-printed, rather than hand-painted. Chloé’s ready-to-wear revolution had truly come into its own from “Paris Refashioned, 1957-1968” exhibition 2017 at The Museum at FIT in NYC.
Karl Lagerfeld, began working for the label in 1964. His sense of fantasy and exuberance, as well as his creative reinterpretations of historic styles, soon came to characterise the Chloé brand. His impact was such that his work took precedence over other Chloé designers By 1965 the credit line “Karl Lagerfeld for Chloé” appeared in Vogue Paris.
Other designers for the label included Christiane Bailly, Maxime de la Falaise, Graziella Fontana, Tan Giudicelli, Gérard Pipart, and Michèle Rosier, but it is Largerfeld who is best remembered for the rise of the Chloé brand.
