Vogue Business has unveiled its annual 100 Innovators List for 2025, spotlighting the entrepreneurs, leaders and disruptors shaping the future of fashion, beauty and luxury.

Among this year’s honourees is Nigerian entrepreneur Yinka Ash, Founder and CEO of Ashcorp Group, recognised in the entrepreneurs and founders category.

The 100 Innovators list celebrates individuals who are redefining industries through innovation, influence and cultural impact, a statement by the group said.

From fashion and sustainability pioneers to beauty disruptors and tech masterminds, the list highlights the dynamic voices reshaping the global creative and commercial industry.

Ash joins fellow honourees, including Nina Briance, Founder & CEO of Cult Mia; Jess Hunt and Jenna Meek, Co-founders of Refy; Johan Bello, Founder and CEO of UNCUT, as well as Caio Amato, Global President of Oakley.

The entrepreneurs and founders category, in particular, recognises those who are building bold businesses, driving transformation and setting new standards for creativity and leadership.

Through his brands, Ashluxe and Ashluxury, Ash has established himself as a leading force in global fashion and luxury.

Ashluxe has garnered international recognition, worn by artists such as Nigerian musician, Davido, and Colombian singer Maluma, as well as expanded into the UK earlier this year.

Ashluxury has become a Lagos landmark, growing into a 120-square-metre flagship store curating over 100 African and international brands.

“This recognition is a reflection of the incredible community of creatives, partners, and supporters who believe in our vision. Our goal is not only to redefine what African luxury and streetwear can be but also to expand its influence globally, creating opportunities, attracting talent, and forming partnerships that shape the future of fashion,” said Ash.
