Goossens is one of the most prestigious names in Haute Couture jewelry of the last half century. He worked with Coco Chanel in the 1950s, cultivating an original style inspired by baroque and Byzantine art that she had discovered in Venice. He also pursued notable collaborations with Yves Saint Laurent, combining real and faux gemstones, making fashion jewelry both precious and bold at once.
