‘It was then, I knew’ Zayn Malik has seriously impressed one fashionista

Having previously launched a streetwear line and shoe collection, Zayn Malik is no stranger to the world of fashion, but his latest endeavour within the industry is bound to set his star soaring.

According to The New York Times, the former 1D member recently caught the attention of Donatella Versace who has chosen to team up and design a clothing line with the young singer.

Having met the Bradford-native during London Fashion Week, Donatella admitted she was pleasantly surprised by the relationship he shared with Gigi Hadid as well as his enthusiasm for fashion.

"I met him again when he started to date Gigi, who I work with all the time. And he impressed me very much –  he was so mature, so thoughtful, treated her like such a gentleman," Donatella told The Times.

"They are very nice young people, a lovely couple, in fact. And then he told me how much he loved fashion. It was then I knew he was the right face for what I had in mind."

Commenting on the capsule collection,  Zayn X Versus, which will hit stores in May of next year, the acclaimed designer insisted that the project goes far beyond the standard celeb collaboration.

"Many celebrities do clothing lines that just aren't relevant," she added. "This one? It will be. He's smart to do it with me."

And Zayn sounds equally excited at the prospect of working with one of the most famous people in the industry.

"The bonus is that I get to collaborate with Donatella, whom I love and admire. I know we'll create something amazing."

Something tells us they may be on to a good thing with this one.
