Although the former One Directioner has been part of a variety of partnerships so far, the new Zayn Malik collaboration with Versus Versace is arguably the most prolific.
In addition to creating a capsule collection with the luxury fashion house, the multitalented celebrity will also be the face of its promotional campaigns -- helping it to capture the attention of the many consumers who are interested in what he has to offer.
Donatella Versace spoke to her expectations of the new Zayn Malik collaboration -- praising the star by saying he is "one of the most exciting personalities on the world stage right now." In addition, a portion of the proceeds from the resulting collection, which is to be unveiled in May 2017, will go towards charity.
