A Nigerian girl gets global recognition with her "Hijab chick Barbie"


Hannefah Adam, schooling in the UK is now a celeb overnight, all thanks to her dolls nicknamed "Hijarbie" which has taken Instagram by storm.
The Barbie doll - who even has her own IG account ( @Hijarbie ) - was thought up by Hannefah when she went to study in the UK. This was because she noticed a lack of diverse toys for little girls and wanted to introduce a modest dress doll to the market. .
.
Hannefah, 24, a fashion designer, 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." Hannefah makes all of Hijarbie's outfits herself.
