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.

According to Julia Sherman, cooking is a lot like painting: “ It’s a composition, it’s layering of materials… it works best when there’s contrasting flavors and textures and colors.”

The author and chef is bringing this philosophy to her latest venture as executive chef of the new restaurant at New York’s New Museum, opening this fall. On this episode of The Artsy Podcast, Sherman joins Artsy’s managing editor Olivia Horn for a conversation about how artists eat, why art institutions are leaning into dining, and what the art and food worlds can learn from each other.

Plus, Artsy editors Casey Lesser and Arun Kakar recap recent art fairs in Seoul and New York and discuss the artists who are on their radar this fall.
