The holidays wouldn’t be as bright without Global Green U.S.A.'s annual "Gorgeous & Green" eco-fashion show and fundraiser, which took place earlier this month at the historic, LEED-certified Bentley Reserve in San Francisco. The event is both the seventh for co-chairs Zem Joaquin and Nadine Weil, as well as, according to our sources, their last. Something tells us, however, that the gorgeous duo will surprise us with many more glamorous soirees to come. Until then, click through our slideshow to revisit the delightful array of colorful gowns that were as easy on the eye as they were the environment.

It's been nearly a week, but we're still spinning from the haute Mad Men-themed eco-fashion show and fundraiser that Global Green U.S.A. threw at the LEED-certified W Hotel in San Francisco. After six years of similar fetes, you might wonder what’s different this year. For starters, Global Green co-chairs Zem Joaquin and Nadine Weil lit up the stage with a surprise vintage-couture fashion show!
