Amreen De Hall
From the SOCIAL SCENE to the FASHION SCENE ,,,,,and most definitely BEHIND THE SCENES!
Fashion Liaison and significant contributor, Amreen aka “The Social Stylist” merges the high fashion-
luxury-lifestyle and her access to the runways & magazines to introduce, promote & shine light on
designers, trending brands and charitable organizations. As a former broadcast journalist for the
South African Broadcasting Corporation covering conflict stories and a young owner of an air brush
tanning franchise Caribbean Tan, Amreen combined all of her skills gained to once again dive into the
world of entrepreneurship by opening @wtfish_lounge. An elevated interactive, fish pedicure spa which
she designed herself that can now be found on Atlantic Avenue in Delray Beach and on Duval street in
Key West. Never having strayed from her shared interest for fashion with daughter Milan who since the
age four is no stranger to the runways and already does BTS interviews at fashion shows.
This meticulous, multitasking Mom of two still enjoys working as a personal fashion stylist for an exclusive
clientele. She’s bringing it all on the runway…because “It’s Fashion Daaahing!”
