"With his edgy, youthful take on luxury and his vampy, high-gloss approach to glamour, decorator Ryan Korban has quickly gained a following among the fashion-world set, first designing his own Manhattan boutique, Edon Manor, then those of his friend Alexander Wang (including the designer's new Balenciaga flagship), along with Wang's apartment and the homes of models Natasha Poly and Julia Stegner. His new book, Ryan Korban: Luxury Redefined (Harper Design, $40), takes readers through a series of projects, both retail and residential, detailing throughout his wide-ranging influences, from vintage perfume ads to English gentlemen's clubs to iconic photographs of models and actresses.\n\nKorban's standard backdrop isn't ivory, cream, or beige, but gray\u2014\"the most stunning neutral, in my opinion,\" he writes\u2014and black. From there, he adds marble counters, chrome and nickel accents, tufted Chesterfield sofas, and Art Deco\u2013style furnishings. Topping it all off is an abundance of exotic skins (a crocodile-sheathed cocktail table, python pillows) and furs (goat hair\u2013upholstered chairs, fox throws), a signature look that gives Korban's interiors both chic and swagger.\n\nClick here to see a selection of Korban's elegant interiors.\n\n"^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
