Hijab Barbie Is A Thing Now [PHOTOS]

Font Size:

Since first appearing in 1959, Barbie has angered generations of feminists and remained near the epicenter of America’s consciousness.

Now, the iconic Barbie is the focus of an Instagram account featuring the plastic bombshell clad in various Muslim headscarves and modest — but tight-fitting! — outfits.

The Instagram account is called Hijarbie.

Haneefah Adam, a 24-year-old woman who lives in Nigeria, is the mini-fashion designer behind the Hijarbie.

“I was mulling about the idea for about three months while I was still studying for my master’s degree in the U.K.,” Adam told Mic.com. “When I got back to Nigeria, I went to the mall, purchased a doll, dressed it up, documented it and here we are.”

Hijarbie currently has nearly 15,000 followers, who get to enjoy photos such as these:
