The self-made billionaire owner of online fashion brand Boohoo faces having to tear down a ‘fortress-like’ gateway which was built without planning permission at his mansion. Before Boohoo shot onto the ever-growing fast fashion scene, its owner Mahmud Kamani, 55, sold handbags in traders' stall. Entrepreneurial Mahmud sold handbags on a market stall. The original plans showed a simple style gateway with gates between two pillars and a modest stone walls either side. Mr Kamani who used to drive a van delivering clothes for his father and sold clothes on his family market stall set up boohoo.com in 2006 alongside businesswoman Carol Kane.
