A young mum who cares for her autistic daughter has been dragged into a David vs Goliath legal battle against the world's richest man and his behemoth conglomerate.
Rim Daghmash named her skincare company Kenz Beauty after her adorable four-year-old Kenzie, who was diagnosed aged two.
The toddler's condition meant her devoted mum was forced to stay home and look after her, so she came up with an idea for a business she could run from her Gold Coast lounge room.
Almost immediately, Kenz Beauty became a major success selling everything from homemade cleansers, to shampoos, conditioners, moisturisers and serums online.
But the dream business hit a major hurdle in September when she was served legal papers from Kenzo - one of the 75 luxury brands that make up the Louis Vuitton Moet Hennessy (LVMH) conglomerate - demanding a name change due to its 'deceptive' similarity.
Founder of LVMH, Bernard Arnault, is currently the world's richest man with a net worth of about $300 billion.
