The Artist. The Vision.
Karen Bystedt

I collect faces the way others collect time — the forgotten, the iconic, the in-between.
Artist and designer Karen Bystedt creates at the intersection of fine art and fashion. From her Los Angeles studio, she transforms iconic faces and forgotten stories into wearable impressions — pieces to live in, and to keep.
The Lost Warhols series reimagines Warhol's language through Bystedt's lens: silk-screened portraits, sculptural garments, and limited fine-art prints presented during Grand Central New York Fashion Week.
