A California native who grew up in the music industry, Gina Correll Aglietti has worked as a consultant on restaurants and as a stylist for the likes of Adele, Haim, The Rza, Taylor Swift, Grace Gummer, as well as fashion houses such as YSL, Levi’s, and Acne. In 2016, Gina launched YOLA Mezcal with Yola Jimenez and Lykke Li to much acclaim. Handcrafted and organic, YOLA Mezcal follows a recipe passed down by Yola's grandfather. It is distilled on our namesake farm in Oaxaca and bottled by women. In 2019, the brand introduced YOLA Dia, a music and arts festival highlighting female talent and voices. While YOLA Mezcal’s core values are to promote economic independence and autonomy for women in Oaxaca, Gina has taken the company one step even further by pursuing a female dominated cap table and staff on both sides of the border. Through this they have been aligned with a multitude of women’s and civil right organizations such as the ACLU and Planned Parenthood. @yolamezcal
