In February he’ll reveal his vision for Versus Versace as the brand’s newest “rock star” designer, and today the musician debuts his line of shoes with Giuseppe Zanotti. Zayn and Zanotti met at Paris Fashion Week in 2015. “When I saw him, I said to myself: ‘He is a cool guy and the epitome of a modern rebel,’ ” said Mr. Zanotti, who knows a thing or two about finding creative provocateurs to work with.
