For Rejina Pyo, the lines between fashion, art, and design are wonderfully blurred: “The way I design clothes is the same as designing a table or designing a space ... I’m really trying to be true to myself.”This month, the London-based designer and artist opened Rejina Pyo 86, a new shop in Notting Hill that doubles as a gallery with curated exhibitions—an expansion of her long-running interest in bringing art and fashion together. Pyo joins Artsy’s editor in chief Casey Lesser on this episode of The Artsy Podcast for a conversation about her affinity for art and artists and why fashion and art are such ideal bedfellows.Plus, Casey and senior art market editor Arun Kakar reflect on the past year in art, discuss insights from Artsy’s newly released Artsy Buyer Trends report, and share a few personal art highlights from 2025. In tandem with the episode, Pyo curated a collection of artworks on Artsy, which you can explore here. Rejina Pyo is a designer and artist, as well as the founder and creative director of her eponymous fashion label. Her new shop Rejina Pyo 86 is located at 86 Golborne Road in London.Artists, designers, exhibitions, and institutions mentioned in this episode:Viola LanariTracey EminDebut exhibition at Rejina Pyo 86 featuring artists Joline Kwakkenbos, Ishbel Lowther, Alek Mechlinski, Daisy Douglas Miller, and Jiahe ZhangMuseum Boijmans Van Beuningen“As She Is” at Soho Revue, LondonChantal JoffeAntonia ShoweringMunch MuseumNational Portrait GalleryThe MetThe Victoria & Albert Museum (V&A)Leonardo da VinciMartin MargielaHelmut LangHussein ChalayanRei Kawakubo / Comme des Garçons Jonathan AndersonRoyal Academy Graduation ShowSuleman Aqeel KhiljiMarcus LeotaudPeter DoigFrieze SeoulFrieze LondonMoka LeeJason HaamRelated Reading: Edvard Munch collection launched by fashion designer Rejina Pyo.The 2026 Met Gala theme is “Costume Art,”
