Since 2020, Sasha Bashir has transformed her Halloween tradition into an elaborate artistic practice that blends theatre, fashion, and storytelling. Each year, she creates intricate characters by fusing fashion styling with narrative and theatrical transformation, having embodied 23 diverse personalities ranging from iconic figures like Frida Kahlo and Cruella de Vil to unique reinterpretations of Malaysian folklore. Her 2025 Halloween lineup featured bold portrayals such as Lady Godiva—complete with horse riding lessons—and a serene, haunting pontianak inspired by vintage photography, showcasing her commitment to depth and originality.

Sasha’s creative process is driven by a theme of strength and self-definition, as each character she embodies represents fearless women who command their own stories and destinies. Her spontaneous inspiration also led to a gothic-glam Draculaura look, blending recycled costume pieces with playful rebellion. Always pushing boundaries, Sasha encourages others to embrace creativity and boldness in their Halloween expressions, already planning next year’s imaginative transformations.
