Now Zayn Malik’s no longer a member of One Direction he’s free to make any career move he wants.

And while the singer and his producer Naughty Boy have been teasing us with snippets of Zayn’s solo tunes, it seems music may not be the star’s next step.

Zayn is apparently hoping to launch a career in fashion and is said to be jetting off to Paris Men’s Fashion Week later this month in a bid to impress some important people in the industry.

A source told The Sun: “Zayn has always been very creative and introverted.

“He tried out various looks and styles during his time in One Direction, which has led to interest from top fashion houses.

“Music will always be his priority but fashion could be more than just a side project.

“The long-term aim could be to potentially earn a big-money endorsement deal with a huge fashion brand.”

The news comes after Bend It Like Beckham director Gurinder Chadha revealed she’d spoken to Zayn about trying his hand at acting.

She told the Daily Mirror: “We’ve met and spoken. He trained as an actor first then became part of the band.

“So I think what he’ll be doing is staying true to his heart – and that’s all you can ever do.

“I don’t have a part in mind for Zayn just yet but hopefully in the future.”
