Henry Roth, fashion icon, social enterprise and personal branding strategist attributes his drive and spirit to his incredible parents Aneta and Joseph Weinreich. Growing up hearing firsthand testimony from his parents, Holocaust survivors taught Henry lessons in compassion and the value of showing mutual respect for all which has guided his moral compass and his life’s work.
“I believe that listening to my parents speak of their harrowing early life experiences in Poland and Russia during WW2 shaped my destiny by compelling me to embrace positivity whenever possible and to speak up about acceptance and mutual respect for all,” said Henry.
Initially qualifying as a lawyer, Henry went on to join the successful family fashion business. The Henry Roth bridal gown company, now based in Kleinfeld Bridal, New York, was created by Henry’s parents over 60 years ago. With the knowledge he learnt from his parents, and using his own smarts Henry marketed the family business, catapulting the company into an international premier bridal fashion house.
Henry’s influence pertaining to all things fashion led him to hosting television show Style Court, with Henry becoming known as the ‘Judge Judy’ of fashion. The show screened on the Style Network and E! Network in America, showcasing Judge Henry Roth.
Back home in Australia, Henry featured in a mentor role on the very popular Project Runway Australia. Of course, Henry threw himself into this media opportunity with as much passion, professionalism, and candor as his American equivalent, Tim Gunn.
Recently Henry has been busy helping his father complete his autobiography, The Stories I Told My Son; his mother recently published her remarkable life story, The Right Time To Speak. Henry and his father Joseph banded together to present speakers nights at their local cafe – firmly believing that everyone has a story to tell.
Henry has recently linked forces with the very talented Paris Cutler from Planet Cake. Together they have formed Career Crowd Thinkers and will be passing on their successful personal branding Knowledge to the next generation. They will also be focusing on the what and how of social enterprise, passing on their invaluable understanding of how to take start-ups and boutique enterprises to the next level. Paris and Henry’s workshops will inevitably include discussions about ethics; no doubt Henry passing on wisdom learnt from his and his parents’ life stories.
Henry Roth is the sort of man who keeps moving forward, forever being inspired and forever inspiring others.
