Antonio Banderas studies fashion in London

London, Sep 8 (IANS/EFE) Spanish actor Antonio Banderas has started attending a course in the prestigious fashion school of Central Saint Martins in London, where he says he enjoys his new lessons "as a child".

"Do you like my new laptop? Enjoying as a child in Central St. Martins," Banderas, 55, tweeted on Tuesday, and shared a photo of him sitting at a sewing machine along with another student.

The actor started his fashion course in August at the London school, which was attended in the past by leading designers such as John Galliano, Stella McCartney and Alexander McQueen.

Banderas seems serious about his fashion career after he opened his very own "Antonio Banderas Designs" company, which has already reached a deal with a Spanish eyewear company, and has started to make connections with other clothing entities.

Banderas is one of Spain's most popular actors, and has starred in internationally acclaimed movies, such as "The Mask of Zorro", "Assassins" and "Desperado".
