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 & CEO of Ashcorp Group, recognized in the Entrepreneurs & Founders category.

The 100 Innovators list celebrates individuals who are redefining industries through innovation, influence, and cultural impact. From fashion and sustainability pioneers to beauty disruptors and tech masterminds, the list highlights the dynamic voices reshaping the global creative and commercial industry.

Yinka Ash joins fellow honourees including Nina Briance, Founder & CEO of Cult Mia; Jess Hunt and Jenna Meek, Co-founders of Refy; Johan Bello, Founder & CEO of UNCUT; Caio Amato, Global President of Oakley; and others. The Entrepreneurs & Founders category, in particular, recognizes those who are building bold businesses, driving transformation, and setting new standards for creativity and leadership.

Through his brands Ashluxe and Ashluxury, Yinka 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, and 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,” said Yinka Ash. “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.”

With Ashcorp Group’s growing influence across fashion and luxury, this recognition cements Yinka Ash’s position as a key player in shaping what comes next for the global industry.
