“ILIKE making things look sexy,” Sazzy Falak says boldly. The actress, TV host, emcee and entrepreneur’s passion for fashion belies her petite frame.
“Fashion is something I love and it’s not just about wearing expensive things.
“I like making women feel good about themselves,” added the 36-year-old KL-ite in her husky rapid-fire tone.
When met recently at a charity event for Harlow’s & MGI Sdn Bhd (HMGI) at Hotel Maya Kuala Lumpur, the fashionista explained that she was currently knee-deep in preparing for her show at the upcoming KL Fashion Week RTW 2017 (KLFW), which runs from Aug 16 till 20.
This will mark her second time showcasing designs under her fashion label, Shop Sazzy Falak, which she established in 2012.
No stranger to the international catwalk, the sassy celebrity had also paraded her chic street clothing at the PLITZS New York City Fashion Week in 2013.
“For this KLFW, my designs are inspired by American women in the 1940s, who took over traditional male jobs when the men went off to war.
“I think that’s when they realised that they could also do what men did,” said the host for Season 1 of the Asian spin-off to the hit US makeover series How Do I Look?
Sazzy, whose real name is Sazlini Shamsul Falak, added that she was busy with several business projects with her TV host and entrepreneur husband, Nazril Idrus.
“Everything’s in the creation process at the moment, so it’s hard to talk about it but the core of it is in making a great lifestyle accessible to most people,” said the mother of 6-year-old twin girls.
When asked if she missed acting, Sazzy, who won the Best Supporting Actress Award at the 19th Malaysia Film Festival for her role in the 2005 film Gol & Gincu, quickly said: “Rindu, rindu.”
She added that if the right opportunity came along, she would jump at it.
“If it’s a film that I really believe in and it has a powerful message, I’d do it,” said Sazzy, who played screen legend Mariani in the 2014 two-part biopic telemovie Saloma.
The Charity Day 2017 event by HMGI saw Sazzy and five celebrities presenting cheques of RM20,000 each, donated by the money-broking company, to six charitable organisations of their choice.
Sazzy donated to the National Cancer Society of Malaysia.
The event was part of HMGI’s annual Corporate Social Responsibility initiative since 2011.
