10 Essentials: Ryan Korban
Alexander Wang’s interior designer shares his décor must-haves for spring. Get on it!
"My interiors really revolve around three keys words: sex, romance and fantasy."
Spoken like your typical interior decorator? Yeah, not exactly—and you might want to shoo away those visions of Pinterest-friendly DIY projects dancing in your head right about now. Allow us to (re)introduce you to Ryan Korban, decorator king of our dreams and one of our very first-ever Coveteurs. While you may know him as the man behind the interiors of everyone from Joseph Altuzarra, Vanessa Traina, and most prominently, Alexander Wang—he's the one behind Balenciaga's all-green-marble-everything Manhattan flagship. He's also the one we point the finger at for many of our personal interior obsessions, from collage-y photo walls, fur details, taxidermy, vintage ashtrays and lots of lucite.
