Description
Haute couture jewelry from Goossens, a name synonymous with excellence in the world of fashion. Robert Goossens, a pioneer of haute couture jewelry, worked with Coco Chanel in the 1950s, creating an original style inspired by baroque and Byzantine art. His designs, featuring real and faux gemstones, combined to make fashion jewelry both precious and bold. The Goossens family continues to uphold the meticulous standards of the house, with Robert's son Patrick reimagining original designs for top fashion houses and Martine collaborating with architect Peter Marino to decorate the interiors of the world's most famous couture houses. This book showcases the iconic designs of Goossens Haute Couture Jewelry, a testament to the enduring legacy of this esteemed family. With its stunning images and in-depth look at the world of haute couture jewelry, this book is a must-have for anyone interested in fashion, design, or the art of jewelry-making.
