A new barbie doll nicknamed "Hijarbie" has taken social media by storm thanks to her trendy headscarf.

The Barbie doll - who even has her own Instagram account - was created by Nigerian student Hannefah Adam when she came to study in the UK.

She noticed a lack of diverse toys for little girls and wanted to introduce a modest dress doll to the market.

Now, she's calling on Mattel (manufacturer of Barbie), to keep up with their many Muslim followers and create a real Hijarbie.

Fashion designer Hannefah, 24, told Style Mic: "It got me thinking about how I'd actually like to see a doll dressed up like I would have - covered up."

She makes all of Hijarbie's outfits herself, dabbling in bright red dresses matched with grey headscarves and teaming all-black outfits with a matching headdress.

Hannefah draws a lot of inspirations from her own outfits, too.

Who is the doll and who is the designer ?

Beautiful

really cute

Nice

I admire he ingenuity and creativity. But why would I decide to buy a barbie doll for my kids when we all know what Islam represents?? Does it make sense when things like these try to paint Islam in a good light which is a good thing and on the other hand cause a lot of instability and chaos in the lives of people who do not believe in the faith.......wonder what an individual who lost a love one through a suicide bomber wearing those religious materials would see or say holding that piece of toy.....
