Zayn Malik wants to explore fashion industry

Zayn walked away from 1D in March and astounded everyone by dying his hair green

Former One Direction star Zayn Malik is reportedly keen to enter the world of fashion.

The singer wants to secure an endorsement deal with a huge fashion brand, reports femalefirst.co.uk. 

"Malik 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,” The Sun quoted a source as saying.

The 22-year-old star is not putting his career in music on the back-burner, but plans to take fashion industry seriously.

"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 source added.

As reported by mirror.co.uk, the singer walked away from the band in March and astounded everyone by dying his hair green.

A source said: "Everyone expects Zayn to go a certain way now he has quit 1D but his people are already talking with organisers of the 24 Hour Plays to get him involved.”

"They want him to make a cameo, which won't require much acting but will see him in a grown-up light among some great A-list company. They also want to maintain his profile in America," the source added.

The news to venture into the fashion world comes after it was speculated that Zayn plans to try his hand at stage acting with a role in the Old Vic Theatre's 24 Hour Plays series, staged in the autumn.
