Linda Anggrea Is On The BOF 500 List, The Most Influential Figure In The 2025 Fashion World

JAKARTA The Business of Fashion (BoF) officially announced Linda Anggrea, CEO of Buttonscarves and Modility Group, as a member of the BoF 500 Class of 2025, a prestigious list highlighting figures who formed the direction of the global fashion industry. First launched in 2013 as a list of the 500 most influential figures, now BoF 500 has grown into a community of 1,613 people from 98 countries.

This year, Linda joins world fashion figures such as Hailey Bieber (model and founder of Rhode Beauty), Veronica Leoni (Calvin Klein), Michael Rider (Celine), actress and singer Cynthia Erivo, and many more, as part of the influential trailblazers in the global fashion industry. The announcement is celebrated in an exclusive event in Paris, which brings together icons, leaders, and visionarys from around the world to celebrate creativity, leadership, and innovation.

BoF 500 is known as one of the most influential lists in the fashion world. Big names such as Sabato De Sarno (former Creative Director of Gucci), Kim Kardashian (container of SKIMS), Pharrell Williams, and Victoria Beckham have been included in this list. The election of Linda emphasized her position in the global fashion scene, not only as a form of recognition, but also as a symbol of her increasingly widespread influence.

As a representative from Southeast Asia, this achievement brings greater meaning. Recognition of Linda placed him on par with the most influential figures in the world, as well as signaling the stronger role of the region in the international fashion industry.

"This achievement is very personal to me, but much bigger than that," said Linda Anggrea. This is proof that voices from Southeast Asia are now heard on the world stage. Our creativity, stories, and leadership have a legitimate place in the scope of global fashion, not only seen, but also recognized and celebrated.

Linda's entry into the BoF 500 reflects her creative vision at Buttonscarves as well as her leadership at the Modility Group, where she managed to bring significant growth and expand her business reach to the global arena. Her journey from building a brand rooted in Southeast Asia to being recognized by the international fashion community is proof of her ambition, resilience, and cultural relevance.

As one of the few leaders from Southeast Asia to be on the BOF 500 list this year, Linda's achievements paved the way for many new voices from the region, an inspiration for those who want to penetrate the world fashion industry.
