So, who is the groom exactly? Here’s what we know about Umar Kamani:
What’s Umar Kamani’s background?
According to Business Insider, Umar hails from the billionaire family behind fast fashion brand, Boohoo. Umar and his brother Adam co-founded PrettyLittleThing, an apparel brand targeted at women aged between 16 and 24, in 2012.
However, last year he announced that he was stepping down from the company to pursue “new challenges and goals” after Boohoo bought out the last remaining 34 per cent minority stake owned by Umar, per Drapers Online.
What’s Umar Kamani’s net worth?
As stated on his Facebook page, Kamani is “one of the world’s youngest billionaires”. The Telegraph seemed to confirm his status, with his estimated net worth of around a billion when converted to US dollars.
Who’s Umar Kamani’s inner circle?
Is PrettyLittleThing an ethical brand?
Both Boohoo and PrettyLittleThing have been heavily criticised over the years for their contributions to the harmful cycle of fast fashion. In one interview with Vogue Arabia, Kamani is quoted as saying he “[doesn’t] agree with the definition of fast fashion as throwaway or disposable simply because of its price”. Nevertheless, the company continues to spark backlash for its practices and reportedly has low sustainability score ratings.
