So for those of you that don’t know Henry or Michelle Roth let me give you a little bit of a background and history lesson on the legacy that is the Roth brand. They were born into a family steeped in bridal tradition with their parent’s, Aneta and Joseph Weinreich, designing dresses and running one of Australia’s most respected Bridal Houses in Sydney – Henri Josef. Today Michelle Roth has carved a name for herself as a featured designer at Kleinfeld (New York) and her collections have been widely featured on American TV from Oprah to Entertainment Tonight. Henry Roth on the other hand has had a more diverse background including the role of Mentor on Project Runway Australia, obtaining a law degree from the University of Sydney and two years as a judge on “Style Court” for the Style Network. Add to this the development of the Henry Roth brand, Style for Your Aisle” ™ and you will begin to see the wealth of experience that can be offered by this brother & sister Design Duo. This interview was conducted by Kylie with Henry and Michelle as they prepared for their Runway Show @ Kleinfeld on October 20, 2010. It was a great chance to take a peek behind the scenes of a major bridal show, the last in the season of the Bridal Market in New York. Here they talk to Kylie about their views on how to have a successful business in the wedding industry.
