Da Silva, who is of mixed Lebanese and Brazilian heritage, said: "I've always been interested in cultures, since I come from two different cultures myself. It's always been something that I've always been passionate about."
"I wanted to do something where everybody was [included] and I wanted to showcase different people together. I wanted to break the barrier of having too many companies who just used lighter-skin models."

Da Silva said she wanted to break the norm of companies catering to Muslim women but only using light-skin models.
She said she has mainly received an overwhelming amount of support, but did receive some backlash because of people finding the headscarves expensive: They cost £20.
Habiba Da silva's campaign for skin is really dope.
However, Da Silva told BuzzFeed News: "I have put so much [investment] and effort into ... this. I literally can't go anywhere else with the price."
I like Habiba Da'Silva, but no way am I spending £20 on a hijab which isn't even all that
