An auction of illustrations by the late fashion designer Karl Lagerfeld has sold for almost triple the estimate at Sotheby’s in Paris.

The “white glove” sale – where all lots were sold – raised a total of €350,406 (£300,000), and featured an unprecedented assembly of Lagerfeld’s fashion sketches, taken from his apartments on 8 Rue des Saints-Pères and 17 Quai Voltaire.
