LAGERFELD KARL: (1933-2019) German fashion designer. An excellent original self-portrait signed by Lagerfeld, one page, 4to, n.p., n.d. (1980s). On a sheet of Chanel printed stationery (featuring the interlocking CC monogram of Coco Chanel which Lagerfeld integrated into a style pattern for the House of Chanel in the 1980s) Lagerfeld has executed a self-portrait in various pastels, the image showing him in a head and shoulders pose with his signature white hair, wearing a black jacket and tie, white shirt with high-starched detachable collars and his familiar black sunglasses. Signed with his name alone in black ink to the base of the drawing, adding a red outline (essentially a second signature) to his name to attractively create the effect of a red ´shadow´. A rare and highly desirable signed self-portrait. VG
