A Morris necklace appeared on the cover of Vogue in 1976, his career exploded, and he opened Artwear Gallery on the Upper East Side in 1977. In August 1978 he relocated to Soho where he developed a celebrity clientele. His jewelry in the 1980s was known as "modern urban warrior pieces" and tapped into primitivism. Morris closed Artwear in 1995, and the RLM Robert Lee Morris Gallery opened in September 1995, focusing exclusively on Morris's own work. In 2011, Manhattan-based Haskell Jewels, LLC announced its acquisition of Robert Lee Morris. In 2012 they launched the SOHO line, sold in US department stores. Morris has collaborated or designed collections for fashion designers Geoffrey Beene, Kansai Yamamoto, Calvin Klein, Anne Klein, Karl Lagerfeld, Michael Kors, and Donna Karan. Morris was awarded the Coty Award (1981) and the Geoffrey Beene Lifetime Achievement Award by the CFDA Awards (2007).
