At the time Kamani said: “After 12 years as CEO and founder of PrettyLittleThing, I have made the difficult decision to step down from my position as CEO. Twelve amazing years that changed my life and I will be forever grateful for all those memories.

“I’m at the stage in my life where I need to set myself new challenges and goals, and build new brands that hopefully you all love and support as much as you did with this one.

“I was 24 when I started this brand and today, at 35 years old, I’m so proud, grateful and excited to go on my next journey.

“Here’s to the future, creating more magic and fairytales. To each and every person who has played any part in the PLT movie, thank you from the bottom of my heart.”
