One to Watch

The worlds of fashion and interior design often intertwine and inspire each other. Whether its common seasonal trends or designer collaborations, I’m always finding myself looking toward to these two distinctive yet similar creative mediums to help enhance my personal style, both within wardrobe and interior. I couldn’t think of a more fitting example then upcoming décor designer to the stylish NY downtown set, Ryan Korban. At just 25, this design chicster has already set a tone and mood for what inevitably lies ahead. His fresh perspective, full of old world ideals and the revival of a lost romance set within urban settings, has already drawn the likes of multiple downtown stylistas eager to work with and display his talented visions. His collaborations with uber downtown chic fashion designer (one of my personal faves) Alexander Wang, has to be his best yet. I’m looking forward to seeing what could possibly be next. - KL

Alexander Wang and Ryan Korban at the recent launch party for Ryan’s new website. "I don't think there's anyone like him—he's super-sophisticated and super-luxurious, but has an eye that's fresh." - Wang

Ryan has designed both personal and commercial spaces for Wang. Here are some photos showcasing Ryan's work for the Alexander Wang showroom.

Ryan also happens to be the creative director for Edon Manor, the very luxe accessory boutique located in Tribeca and owned by chic stylista Davinia Wang. I love how you see Kelly Wearstler influences throughout the style of the boutique designed by Korban.

Here are a few more examples of Ryan's work. Be sure to check out his new website. www.ryankorban.com

Ryan is a big believer in accessorizing a home just like you would a wardrobe. I adore that exact style sensibility.
