Every so often fashion gets a new fan. A celebrity who turns up on the front row, wearing pieces that are just about to be shown to the fashion press. We question why they are there - are they being paid? Or do they genuinely like fashion? Or is it just about the press they'll get? - And the answers are probably YES to all.Elie Goulding likes a good old fashion show, and Kim Kardashian often attends the catwalks to see the new collections to get photographed. And, like some of his former band mates in the past, Zayn Malik has been enjoying mens' fashion week, in particular the Valentino and Louis Vuitton shows last week. And we were lead to believe that he just wanted a 'normal' life!! Fat chance Zayn, fat chance.And he looks good! There's no denying it. I prefer the Vuitton look, naturally. It's just a bit more fabulous, however the Valentino jacket is gorgeous. But what do some of my blogger mates think? Scroll down to have a read...

Before we get to the fashions, let's just take a moment to appreciate Zayn's face. Go on, do it. No-one's watching. 10 seconds to appreciate his otherworldly beauty, scruffy beard fuzzy buzzcut. Done? OK. So Zayn rocked up at Paris men's, obvs dressed to the nines by the designers. I think that the Valentino look just edges it for me: one of those simple, minimal looks that's so hard to pull off without the perfect white shirt, tailored trousers and shiny Derbies. I loved Vuitton on the catwalk, but this showpiece isn't quite as sharp on Zayn. Both however are a result: I reckon Zayn could be a fantastic choice for a face of either of these brands. OK, speaking of his face...

I can't say I really like either. This is another direction that just isn't working out. It just all feels too try hard. We get it, you are trying to move on from 1D, but doing a Britney with your hair and trying to be 'fashion' isn't going to work. Harry already got the fashion card. BUT having said that, take the coat off the Valentino look and you've got a crisp looking outfit, albeit terribly basic. WHY ZAYN? WHY? #1D4EVA
Zayn’s obviously bored of being ‘normal’, so has now hit the frows in Paris. I like the new blonde crop, it’s quite a good summer hairstyle/colour. Out of the two I prefer Valentino, it does look a bit uniformy, but there isn’t much to criticise. The Vuitton look doesn’t have enough conviction and swagger from Zayn, that sort of Hawaiian top needs a more louche attitude and definitely not those pyjama type trousers.
Who do you agree with?
