From hoodies and swimwear to onesies, every item features recycled material, and each purchase helps support beach cleanups, tree plantings, and other eco-initiatives via the nonprofit 1% for the Planet.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>This year, Ulukaya is launching the Mon Coeur Foundation to support education for grade school students around the world. Philanthropy is a priority for herself and her husband, Turkey-born businessman Hamdi Ulukaya, the founder of Chobani yogurt, which donates 10 percent of company profits to the Chobani Foundation. \u201cWe don\u2019t really call it philanthropy. It\u2019s something we talk about on a daily basis. It\u2019s part of our daily routine,\u201d she says.&nbsp;&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Ulukaya and her family are based mostly in New York (her father, chef Jean-Georges Vongerichten, launched his culinary empire there), but they also spend time in the South of France (where she grew up) and in Istanbul, a city she says she fell in love with \u201cat first sight.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Below, she shares her favorite places to visit in Turkey&#8217;s historical city.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"683\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/louise-ulukaya-683x1024.jpg\" alt=\"Louise Ulukaya\" class=\"wp-image-162948\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/louise-ulukaya-683x1024.jpg 683w, https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/louise-ulukaya-200x300.jpg 200w, https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/louise-ulukaya-768x1152.jpg 768w, https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/louise-ulukaya-1024x1536.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/louise-ulukaya-1365x2048.jpg 1365w, https:\/\/www.fourseasons.com\/magazine\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/08\/louise-ulukaya.jpg 1600w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 683px) 100vw, 683px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Ulukaya.
