羅伯特‧古森及加布里埃‧香奈兒的顯赫大名，與別具考古文物色彩的珍貴神秘珠寶及裝飾藝術創作息息相關。他們以水晶石、半寶石及珊瑚結合黃金及青銅，雕琢成華麗豐富的非凡設計。

羅伯特‧古森的天賦才能很快便在時裝界大放異彩，他隨即開展在各大知名品牌的工作，當中包括巴黎世家、格蕾夫人、迪奧、雪萊、紀梵希，穆勒及拉克魯瓦。在1974年至2000年間，他更與伊夫‧聖羅蘭及名模露露•德拉法蕾斯合作。正如他與香奈兒合作設計的精品一樣，其創作豐富多彩，囊括珠寶、燈飾、桌子、鏡及其他設計傑作。

在2005年，古森把其名下的工作室及庫存售予香奈兒。這一系列來自法國的精湛工藝包括Lemarié 工坊之羽飾、Lesage 工坊之刺繡以及與Michel 工坊的製帽技術，在香奈兒的推動下得以世代承傳，彰顯珍貴文化傳統。
