Some entrepreneurs follow trends, but Alexander Amosu has made a career of creating them. Visionary, inventive, and bold, he has redefined what it means to be a pioneer in both business and luxury.
Amosu’s entrepreneurial journey began remarkably early. At just 12 years old, he launched his first business, setting the tone for a career built on innovation and relentless drive. By his twenties, he had already created history by founding the UK’s first Black-owned urban ringtone company. The venture became a phenomenal success, ultimately selling for millions and positioning Amosu as one of the youngest trailblazers in the business world.
Never one to rest on past success, Amosu pushed boundaries even further. His foray into luxury design earned him global recognition when he unveiled diamond-encrusted phones that made headlines around the world. He went on to craft the world’s most expensive suit, woven with 22-carat gold pinstripes — an extraordinary creation that secured him a Guinness World Record. These ventures were not just about extravagance; they showcased his unique ability to transform the ordinary into the extraordinary.
Today, Amosu is channeling that same energy into his boldest venture yet: Lux Afrique (@luxafrique). More than a brand, it is a cultural movement, reshaping how the world views Africa in the global luxury space. From hosting the prestigious Lux Afrique Polo Day in London to organizing Lagos’ first international luxury lifestyle exhibition, Lux Afrique is proving that Africa is not merely a consumer of luxury but an influential creator of it.
Through his work, Alexander Amosu continues to bridge global prestige with African sophistication. His story is not only one of success but of vision — a reminder that true entrepreneurs don’t wait for trends; they set them.
