From the outside, the fashion industry seems like all glitz, glamour, and runway moments. But behind the polished looks and flashing lights, there's a whole world of untold stories.
That's exactly what Style Sessions with Sasha is here to explore.
This new podcast under Audio+ goes deeper than just outfits and aesthetics.
Instead, it shines a light on what really happens behind the scenes, including the struggles, heartbreaks, controversies, and hard-earned successes that shape Malaysia's fashion industry.
Hosted by Sasha Bashir, the show brings together some of the biggest names in the scene for honest, no-filter conversations about their journeys.
Across its first 10 episodes, the podcast features a mix of designers, stylists, models, and creatives who have helped shape Malaysian fashion today
Some of the names you'll hear from include Rizman Nordin and Ruzaini Jamil (Rizman Ruzaini), Amber Chia, Daiyan Trisha, Khoon Hooi, Syomirizwa Gupta, Fern Chua, Faizal Hamid, Zain Zain, Fizi and Kai (Fiziwoo), and Tym Fatimah.
Each episode dives into their personal experiences, from navigating challenges to celebrating milestones, and everything in between.
More than just a conversation about clothes, Style Sessions with Sasha explores fashion as a powerful form of identity and self-expression
Every guest brings their own perspective, showing how style can reflect personality, culture, and even life experiences.
With Sasha's own bold fashion sense and deep connection to the industry, the conversations feel authentic, engaging, and grounded in real-life experiences, making it easy for listeners to connect, even if they're not in the fashion industry themselves.
As someone with over 20 years of experience in media, Sasha often found herself listening to podcasts during her daily commute. That's when it hit her — why isn't there a podcast that highlights Malaysian fashion voices and their stories?
Realising there was a gap, she decided to create one herself. And just like that, Style Sessions with Sasha was born.
"I came up with the idea for this podcast while I was stuck in one of the many traffic jams we go through every evening on the way home from work. A few months ago, I realised I wanted to listen to podcasts featuring personalities from the Malaysian fashion industry, because I'm sure they have a lot of stories to share," she said.
