Ageism – it’s just a number!

Posted on by Judith Hobby Clothing

I recently turned 50 and it doesn’t bother me…so why does it bother others??!!

I feel the same as I have for ages, however I have noticed that I am being treated differently once people know my age. When I am asked how old I am in a shop or elsewhere I see a change in their attitude…they are placing me in a box. That is not where I belong!!!

This is part of the reason I started JHC. We are not the same as many of our parents were. We don’t consider age an obstacle. And 50 is just a baby.

We will not start wearing twin sets and pearls. Life is too short to wear boring clothes. We want to wear what we are comfortable in. Age is not a limitation to style!

Judith Hobby started Judith Hobby Clothing in Dubai in 2011 in response to the lack of affordable fashion forward clothing in the market. Previously Judith had travelled overseas and bought back items that she thought would be of interest to her clients, however, interesting and affordable pieces became increasingly difficult to source. In response to this she tried her hand at designing a couple of simple pieces to see if anyone would be interested – the demand was overwhelming and she sold out in one day! Recognising the region she lives in and the requirements for a more conservative approach to dress, the pieces are designed for mixing, matching and layering year around.
