Nikolett Anna Molnar (known as Nini Molnar, Budapest, 1991-) is a Hungarian designer, former model and business woman. She is the founder and creative director of the eponymous lifestyle and accessories brand NINI MOLNAR.

Life and Career
Born in Budapest in 1991, Nini’s international travels started at a young 14, when she spent a year in Miami on an exchange. Soon thereafter, she began modelling, travelling between Milan and New York, and deepening her love of fashion. Never one to settle for the stereotype, Nini quit modelling after a few years to follow in her father’s footsteps and study business. She earned a degree in business management in Regent’s University London and a masters in marketing in King’s College London. Before jumping into her own brand Nini worked as a Marketing Assistant at Hotel Cafe Royal, a luxury hotel in the heart of London.

In 2015 her career in fashion design began when she sketched out her very first design the Pombag and hasn’t looked back since. Pombag is a women’s handbag made out of ethnically sourced sheep’ wool. Her reputation skyrocketed in a short time and her collections became available in London, New York and Kiev. Nini launched her company in 2017 which focuses mainly on bags and accessories. In addition, that year she collaborated with a well-know Hungarian street wear brand called Dorko. Together they designed a DRK X NINI MOLNAR  collection which had an immense success. Also she worked with a Krisztian Éder well known singer- and photographer who captured the Handbag Stories campaign.

In 2018 she introduced her first swimwear collection at Central European Fashion Week.

NINI MOLNAR creates both classic and trend-led pieces by harmonizing cool, modern and feminine design with the touch of luxury. The Founder, Nini’s character and lifestyle appear in the collections characterized by elegance, femininity, coolness and both classic and bold colors. We move into the future with an eye on modern aesthetics but we also bring an air of nostalgia. Craftmanship, global street culture, vintage vibes and the strength of womanhood manifesting in the designs. NINI MOLNARS’s signature star symbol embodies positive attitude and the joy of life.

NINI MOLNAR is for the modern woman, who unafraid to meet life head on and have some fun along the way. Ambitious, persistent with positive attitude who also finds enjoyment in the buzz world and balance in her career and private life.
