Global Green’s 9th Annual Gorgeous & Green Gala Wows With “Green Gatsby” Theme

Last month the <a href="http://globalgreen.org/events/195"> 9th Annual Gorgeous &amp; Green Eco-Fashion Show and Fundraiser Gala</a> kicked off in San Francisco to benefit the ongoing efforts of <a href="http://globalgreen.org/" target="_blank">Global Green USA</a> and their mission to help places, people, and the planet in need. The annual gala has a tradition of over-the-top glamour, and this year (while exceptional) was no exception in the uber glamorous category. Themed ‘Green Gatsby’, the star-studded event was graced with celebrity hosts / actresses Rosario Dawson and Maggie Grace, and co-founders Zem Joaquin and Nadine Weil, who co-chaired the production with Christopher Bently, among many other honorary attendees. Inhabitat editor <a href="http://inhabitat.com/author/mike/">Mike Chino</a> and writer <a href="http://inhabitat.com/author/piper/">Piper Kujac</a> were on the scene to check out this year's event - read on for some of our highlights!
