HENRY ROSENFELD
Henry Rosenfeld started his career as a shipping clerk in Manhattan's garment
district. He worked his way up the ladder at Bedford Dress, Inc. before striking
out on his own in 1942.
Henry Rosenfeld was a budget label, with dresses
ranging from $10.95 - $19.95 in the 1940's. The dresses were well cut and simply
tailored, which gave them an expensive look. In 1945, Rosenfeld grossed
$8,000,000 on sales of 2,000,000 dresses to 12,000 stores, including Lord &
Taylor. His signature symbol was a red rose, which was found on the hang tags of
his dresses.
