The way Barbie dresses is very skimpy and different and there’s nothing wrong with it. I just wanted to give another option for Muslim girls like me

I want Hijarbie to inspire the Muslim girl child. It's about having a doll that looks like her, that represents her own cultural and religious background.

Barbie has created a new phenomenon, celebrating femininity, independence and female power

I think the most important thing to have as a Muslim or a non-Muslim is a very good character.The hijab is actually more about modesty than fashion but who says you can’t incorporate both together? Fashion with faith.

It is really important to have a good heart and I try to check my heart all the time just to make sure I am being good and not forget that, as it is really close and tied to my religion

But the point of Hijarbie is not only to show how beautiful and trendy modest style can be,it's also about showing girls who may wear a hijab themselves that they are no less beautiful or special than Barbie herself.
