THE HAUTE

COUTURE OF CERAMICS

C

Up, close and personal with Mr. Ivano Di Paolo

Can you tell us a little bit about yourself?

My name is Ivano and I am from Italy. I have been in this business for more than 20 years. Our area, the region we come from, is probably the most important in terms of the line of work we are in which is ceramics.

Versace is a synonym of Italian excellence throughout the world, what would you like to say about the brand and about

20

PAPERAZZI MAGAZINE

2019

the kind of workmanship the company possesses?

It’s a tough job. We work in line with the headquarters of Versace in Milano, and I really have to say that they are very very tough in terms of brand image. They really take care about any and every development in the production process. They check the product positioning and they want to see every single item. And at the end, I have to say that they give a lot of importance to the cycle of life of every collection.

What is the process of making the entire collection? Does Versace give you the designs, how do you go about it?

Well the collections change every year, they show new things, they keep updating their lines and it’s a must for us to keep up with the brand image of Versace, and follow their guidelines. So we try on our side to show and give materials following our ideas and obviously our technology, our capacity to do something with the product.

But we follow Versace’s position, their

behavior, their ideas, and whatever they ask us to do regarding any single material one hundred percent.

In your opinion, what sets you apart from your competitors?

Well I can say there are a lot of good competitors with the brand of Gardenia at the medium-high level, and I think most of them are in the heart of Italy, and most of them are related to or are close to the design and style of the “Made In Italy” concept. Regarding Versace as a brand in our business, there is nothing similar.

Because we are one of the only few companies to take on work with an ambitious fashion brand.

Can you walk us through the production process and the “Made in Italy” philosophy behind your brand?

The technology is available to everyone who obviously wants to and is able to invest money. On the other side I think it’s important to put your ideas and style ideas forward, and to create something new, that is not already in the market and everything that is on the paper to be realized on a product. So this is a very huge challenge. Because for sure the machines are able to produce traditional products, but to give and to show the best of the design and the “Made in Italy” concept behind the brand, in particular Versace’s design philosophy, it is very tough.

How long does it take for a collection to be designed and produced?

One year. We need that much time because it starts from the design, test, the color, the decoration so there’s a lot involved. So it takes a year for a collection to completely close from start to finish.

What styles of ceramics and ceramic art does your company focus on?

With the Versace brand, we try to recreate the best material we find in nature that is marble, wood and stone. While on the other side, we try to use color and decoration as much as possible just to still have traditional ceramic like many years ago.

What do you see as design trends for the coming years?

We have seen in the last few years a huge amount of minimal cement looking and wood looking tiles. In the meantime, there has been a huge development on different marble reproduction. I think that in the future a time will come for all the companies to take a step back, to build their own identity, and for all those companies that want to show to their customers that they are providing something different.

How did you decide to launch your products in Pakistan?

I started to come here five years ago, and we created good connections. We started some work in Karachi back in 2017, and then due to the relationships we had built, which is one of the most important things in any business, we decided to officially launch our products here and therefore started business.

What would you say about the Pakistani market, and your target market here in Pakistan?

Right now the target market for sure are the residential markets and these are people that want to invest in this product, and

want to show in their houses the “Made in Italy” style. It is those people that give a value to the product, and who have a clear vision of the material related to a brand. Then obviously we have to work on other projects, What is the forecast for the industry over the next couple of years?

It will increase. The consumption and search for a good, high quality, top brand will increase more and more for sure.

What is the biggest obstacle for your company to be present in the Pakistani market?

Well there are many obstacles. If you see in 2019 there are a lot of situations, not due to us, not due to our company or our customers. But in general there are a lot of political situations that makes a market not so clear, Even if it is difficult, I am optimistic that business will increase for sure.

Anything you would like to say about the Pakistani ceramics industry?

Frankly speaking, I do not know much about the Pakistani ceramics industry. But what I do know is that the Pakistani industry has to try and increase the value of their product, and increase the image of the design and the level of quality so that they can come up to mark and compete with other companies from abroad.

horoscope

Our fab astrologer Zahid Haider, styles up your stars. Find out what’s in store for you this week!

For your in-depth weekly forecast call 0322-757-5219 E-mail: happyhaider65@gmail.com

ARIES (MAR. 21- APRIL 20) Get grounded, Aries! This week wants you to center yourself, slow down, and focus on your long-term goals. On Thursday, your responsibility—not your reactivity—is a major problem-solver at work.

Get creative this weekend! Be inspired to try new, innovative things and find soulful healing wherever you need it.

SCORPIO (OCT. 24 - NOV. 22) Chemistry’s in the contrast, Scorpio! You’re attracted to those who are different from you. Thursday helps you find words for romantic compromise, and you'll find yourself attracted to bookish types. The weekend is full of joy and confidence—go out of your way to experience happiness and personal security with others who make you feel good.

TAURUS (APR. 21- MAY 21) It’s all about you, Taurus! The moon shines from your constellation at the beginning of the week, so show off your best qualities like loyalty, follow-through, and sensuality. Thursday gives you an “a-ha!” moment. Trust the realization, and make plans around it. This weekend, get out and socialize by reuniting with old friends.

SAGITTARIUS (NOV. 23 -DEC. 21) Concentrate, Sagittarius! Your big-picture thinking needs to be focused a bit more on the details. Make sure you’re paying attention to your own life. Thursday helps you focus on finances—discipline your spending habits just a bit so you can splurge more on home. The weekend inspires you to focus on emotional safety and family.

GEMINI (MAY 22-JUNE 21) Self-care, thy name is Gemini! Your week begins with tenderness.

Go easy on yourself, and plan healing activities that recharge your energy. Thursday could help you think differently about emotional labor and intimacy. Seek authenticity, not perfection. Focus on work this weekend by getting a head start on time management, responsibilities, and personal growth.

CAPRICORN (DEC 22.- JAN. 20) Courage, Capricorn! Tell the story of your heart this week, particularly on Thursday. It’ll be vulnerable and scary, but you’re brave for doing so. Express a need that’s not being met, and offer a solution to move forward. The weekend helps you flex your vocal muscles—you’ll be the most analytical and articulate you’ve been!

CANCER (JUNE 22-JULY 22) Call your girls, Cancer! This week showcases your extroverted side, where you’ll have fun, wonderful conversations and enjoy your BFFs. On Thursday, try blurring the lines between romance and friendship—don’t the best relationships often start that way? Finally, plan a short trip and get away this weekend.

LEO (JULY 23-AUG 22) Work it, Leo! Your professional life is your main focus this week, and you’re the star of the office. Showcase your confidence, leadership, and emotional intelligence. Don’t forget the micro details on Thursday—be proactive about smaller tasks. The weekend is sultry and intimate, so pursue pleasure for pleasure’s sake with the right partners, and enjoy it.

AQUARIUS (JAN. 21.- FEB. 19) Joy of missing out? Definitely this week, water-bearer! You’re feeling inspired to stay home and tend to your emotional health. Thursday could give you a helpful strategy to protect your heart. Prioritize your financial health this weekend by auditing your spending and setting more responsible budgets.

PISCES (FEB. 20-MAR. 20) Happy birthday, Pisces! You’re a wordy one this week, and your language skills will inspire many people—your friends especially—on Thursday. Be sure to journal your thoughts and dreams this weekend.

You’ll be visited by the muses, so remember what you wonder!

VIRGO (AUG. 23 -SEPT. 23) Optimism is practical, Virgo! Your week inspires you to live out of vision, not circumstances, which is the only way things begin to change. Thursday furthers this goal when it gives you a confidence boost to pursue your wildest dreams. The weekend is a romantic one, motivating you to connect to partners with an “opposites attract” chemistry.

AMAL KHAN

LIBRA (SEPT. 24 -OCT. 23) Keep it authentic, Libra. This week, choose honesty over striving for perfection or people-pleasing, especially when it comes to dealing with family members on Thursday. You have helpful knowledge that can help them, so speak your truth. Then help yourself on the weekend! Be proactive about overdue tasks and catching up on your goals.
