His first drawings were rejected by the House of Lanvin. Resolutely, he continued by himself and in 1920 he opened his own Dressmakers business helped by his brother who was a Lawyer. This did not continue, and he proceeded to work for Paul Poiret and John Redfern, Masters of their Trade. This must have greatly benefited his talent in design.
With more support from his family he set up his own Fashion House in 1933 in the Rue de Cique. This was managed by his brother George. A long and difficult journey was finally brought to fruition. Success enabled him to open a branch in London during 1936.
His Fashion House internal decoration was most unusual and striking, set in the era of Italian Palaces using heavy drapery. The ceilings were painted with colours of a cloudy sky.

Interesting Facts
Paul Jean Robert Piguet, born in Switzerland in 1898, developed a passion for design, fashion, and fragrances entirely on his own. His parents, being bankers and merchants, were far from being enthusiastic when Piguet went to Paris at only 17 to continue his education.
When Robert Piguet opened a fashion studio in Paris after graduating in 1933, what he had learned and his aristocratic background began to pay off. He quickly made a name for himself with clean lines, subtle coloring, fine fabrics, and a strict sense of detail. It was also helpful that Piguet also moved privately in the upscale society of his customers. Thus, figures such as Colette, Jean Cocteau, Édith Piaf, and Jean Marais were among his fans and friends earlier. This success in the fashion industry enabled Robert Piguet to found a fashion salon as early as 1933, which moved to Paris' most noble address, the Champs-Élysées, in 1938.
After Robert Piguet was well established in the fashion world, he shifted his attention to the world of fragrances starting in 1944. It appeared
