The first Barbie with the Islamic veil is coming!
On November 13, during the glittering Glamor Celebrates Women Of The Year Summit, held at the Brooklyn Museum in New York, the first Barbie with an Islamic veil was presented.
Undisputed protagonist of the event, our Barbie finally has no problems showing off her hijab, respecting the plurality of cultures and peaceful coexistence between religions. Because even a doll can teach us a lot about tolerance and openness towards the different, without racisms of any kind and always under the banner of elegance, femininity and glamor.
The first Barbie with the veil has an exceptional model
The first Barbie with a veil is not just any one, quite another! She is inspired by the talented and talented fencer Ibtihaj Muhammad, the first Muslim woman to compete internationally for the United States wearing the hijab, the Islamic veil, in every competition.
Bronze medalist in team saber at the Rio 2016 Olympics, Ibtihaj is a true champion, always present on the world podium between 2011 and 2015.
Mattel has chosen to dedicate to her the first Barbie with the veil, belonging to the Shero collection, born to celebrate the female heroines of the contemporary world, so that they can be models of inspiration for today's girls in every field, from science to sport.
