The Interview with Najaam Lee
How long have you been doing this and how did you get to be a Fashion Stylist-Consultant?
I am so happy to anwser this question.
Wow! This takes me back to my childhood. I have been in the fashion and entertainment industry since the age of 10. I have experienced different forms of art, such as dance, drawing, stage performances, acting, modeling, music, choreography and directing. I attended F.I.T.( Fashion Institute of Technology) for their Merchandising Program; I attended F.I.D.M( Fashion Institute of Design and Merchandising. Los Angeles) for Fashion Design & Art Illustration; and El Camino College for the Art Program. I learned and gained many skills in designing and styling fashion, the history and art of fashion. Plus, being in the business I used what I learned to style myself and others for auditions, shoots and performances. Although I have these skills, my confidence and low self esteem got the best of me. I desired to figure out why and change it. This pivotal point took place when I attended a major awards show, and confusion set in, fear grabbed a hold of me, not knowing what to wear, not happy at what was chosen to wear, or how I looked. I felt like I just didn't belong, and having that emotion just grew from there.
This was a serious awakening for me that things were not aligned, and I wanted to stop feeling this way. I made a committment to myself to take action, and truly learn plus understand all I can about Self Image, Public Persona, Developing the Image- including Ayurveda, mind-body-spirit connection, and visual presentation. So, in 2004, I opened my first ayurvedic healing practice, and found that many of my clients who successfully rebalanced their health and lifestyle, were asking me to style their new look. So I really searched to find out how they could do this, and found there wasn't one book or one place that combined both successfully. A light bulb went on inside me and after figuring everything out, I created a systematic process and began implementing it into my own life, and was so happy with the results I achieved; friends, family and my clients took notice and wanted to know how they too could achieve their signature look. So in 2006, Vedic Image Group was born.
Who are your clients exactly?
I work with people just like you, independent professionals who are really good at what they do; however, have not been shown how to create an attractive public image or enhance their signature style. That said, the professions I've worked with are:
Public Figures . Interior Designers
Speakers . Real Estate Agents
Journalists . IT
Reporters . CEOs
Actors/Actresses . Sale Executives
Models . Lifestyle Coaches
Brides/ brides-to be . Social Elites
If you are always in the public eye, in front of an audience, we work with you !

What happens if you haven't worked with people in my field?
I have worked with a wide scope of professions and independent industries; yet I must share with you that if I haven't you are not at a disadvantage, quite the opposite. Here's why: people in general are all doing similar things to try and create an attractive public image for themselves or any assignment they are worrking on. What my current and former clients have found extremely helpful is that I bring a newly fresh perspective to their world and give them easy to follow steps they haven't thought of or seen before. Because of this, they stand out in a overcrowded room in a beautiful way, and are the ones who attract benefitting opportunities.
How are you different than other Fashion Stylist Consultants?
Although in our field we may touch upon similar fashion trends, styles and other fashion styling consulting things, you have me as a Image Development expert and consultant. I ONLY work with independent professionals who work vividly in the public eye, and independent publications. In other words, I don't style for large companies or corporations. I'm not a Jack & Jill-of-all-trades stylist or consultant. What that means to you is that I am very focused on any and everything that works for my clients' image. Because my focus is narrow, what you recieve from me is a no-nonsense, undiluted expertise on what works for independent professionals. I've simply become an expert at this, and that's why my clients get great results with a splash of Happy Zen always helps :)
What personality do you work best with and what is expected of me?
The Vedic Image Group services, packages and programs were created for people who are absolutely excited about and so serious about enhancing their public image, desires to brand their image to succeed, plus ending their fears, ending the "I don't like how I look" syndrome and the fear of being on someone's "Worst Dressed" list.
They were created for you to put steps in place within a few months( sometimes in a few sessions!) which will lead you to enhancing your look and style, creating an attractive public image consistently and successfully for many, many years.
Being a creative, ambitious, high-achieving person myself, I'm known for working best with other high achieving go getters who are so ready to get going and just want to know and be shown how to look and style an attractive public image.
Consider what you'll do with me - like a one on one, hands on action pack workshop. You'll be expected to take serious and consistent action. To be positive and open to new ways of seeing , thinking and styling; have full support while you achieve this incredible exciting goal; developing your image consistently for success.
What exactly does the Vedic Image Group do? what's all included?
Please understand I am very selective in who I work with, choosing to softly turn away people and companies who are not suited for my services and will not get the results they have signed up for- it just wouldn't be fair to them.
The Vedic Image Group is a fashion imaging solution company.We create an attractive public image-a signature style for our clients'.We style and direct the total look of a person's image. Having an attractive public image begins with understanding who you are and how you project who you are; what exactly are you communicating to yourself and to the world.; then taking the right actions to achieve it.
