Amy Green, Aspen-based eco-philanthropist, entrepreneur, and Founder of The Green Vision Foundation, launched GIADA, a modern luxury, handcrafted mommy-and-me vegan leather fashion line, at an exclusive VIP event, Caviar Kaspia in The Jade Room at Jayma Cardoso’s The Snow Lodge at The St. Regis Aspen.
The night showcased the limited-edition, cruelty-free shearling-inspired vests for women, men, and children, benefiting The Green Vision Foundation and Green’s future philanthropic projects. Guests, including Bravo’s Married to Medicine, Kari Wells, Julie Macklowe, Renata Assis, Tatum Tran, Sandy Nielsen, Inna Campbell, Corinne Nevinny, Julie Tran, Pollyanna and Bella Bremen, Jessica Wildman, Jayne Banks, Kathy Bernsten, Caelynn Bell, and Gary Green, sipped on Delphine RÉVILLON champagne, which was perfectly paired with artisanal truffles from local chocolatier Pollinator Chocolates and caviar from Caviar Kaspia.
“GIADA is my love letter to my daughter and to the future,” said Green. “True luxury should never ask us to choose between beauty and compassion. Every piece is created with intention, artistry, and heart to show the next generation that elegance shines brightest when it’s kind.”
Born from Green’s desire to redefine what luxury looks like today, GIADA stands for style without compromise, refinement without waste, and fashion without harm. Each piece is intentionally created to feel indulgent yet responsible, timeless yet modern.
Named after Green’s first child, GIADA is inspired by the sacred bond between mother and daughter and the belief that luxury should feel loving, intentional, and kind. Drawing from Aspen’s serene alpine elegance and New York’s fashion-forward edge, GIADA elevates “mommy-and-me” dressing into a space of cozy sophistication and conscious beauty.
GIADA’s vegan vests deliver the plush warmth and tactile richness traditionally associated with shearling. At the same time, the brand’s limited, low-impact production model underscores Green’s lifelong dedication to environmental stewardship, animal protection, and women’s empowerment.
All GIADA pieces are made from cruelty-free materials, featuring carefully selected textures of soft vegan suede and luxurious faux fur. Each garment is handmade by skilled women artisans in New York, using locally sourced, in-stock materials, ensuring no new materials are produced for the collection, a proper slow-fashion approach that minimizes waste and maximizes meaning. GIADA is also a direct reflection of Green’s passion for design and art, which is evident in the interiors of her homes in both Aspen and New York.
Through the Green Vision Foundation, Green is a leading force in global conservation, supporting initiatives focused on anti-poaching, ocean restoration, rainforest preservation, and climate change mitigation. Her annual Footprint of Life Gala, returning to Aspen in March 2026, has raised millions of dollars and convened world leaders, innovators, and changemakers to drive tangible environmental action. Green also partners with Tusk, which Prince William is the Royal Patron of, and Sylvia Earle’s Mission Blue.
