Mon Coeur, New York City’s leading sustainable children’s brand, celebrated its latest capsule collection with an exclusive private dinner. The brand partnered with the Billion Oyster Project to raise awareness for environmental restoration and youth sustainability education. Held at the elegant Chez Margaux, the event offered more than a meal—it delivered a mission.
Louise Ulukaya, Mon Coeur’s passionate founder, welcomed top voices in fashion, sustainability, and environmental advocacy to the dinner. Guests enjoyed a curated, locally sourced, organic menu designed to highlight the importance of mindful consumption. As the evening unfolded, conversations centered around inspiring change, creating awareness, and designing a better future for children.
Mon Coeur’s new collection introduces eco-friendly, ocean-themed garments created using upcycled fabrics, sustainable dyes, and zero-waste practices. The designs aim to educate children through style, storytelling, and creativity. With bold graphics and playful messages, each piece encourages kids to think green and act consciously.
As attendees dined, they learned more about the Billion Oyster Project (https://www.billionoysterproject.org), a nonprofit restoring New York Harbor through oyster reef rewilding. The initiative uses discarded shells and community engagement to revive marine ecosystems and promote environmental education.

Sustainability Leaders and Influencers Unite for Environmental Awareness in Style
The event drew a crowd of influential voices from fashion, media, and eco-conscious circles to support early education in sustainability. Actress Molly Bernard, fashion executive Jen Pastore, Refinery29 co-founder Christene Barberich, and fashion editor Cathaleen Chen joined the celebration. Also in attendance were Joan Kennedy, Alyssa Lapid, Cassell Ferere, and Dee Poki, among others.
Each guest received a sustainable welcome gift and a detailed overview of how the capsule supports oyster reef restoration. QR codes on printed cards linked to interactive content, giving visitors tools to continue learning and supporting the mission at home.
Ulukaya shared her heartfelt vision for building a planet-conscious future through accessible fashion and engaging education. “We don’t just make clothes—we start conversations and shape tomorrow’s world through kids who understand their power,” she said. “Partnering with Billion Oyster Project connects our goals with real environmental change happening in New York right now.”
With oysters filtering up to 50 gallons of water daily, the project offers measurable impact through every reef installation. The new collection provides a portion of profits to support this restoration effort, giving customers a chance to contribute directly to environmental recovery.

Fashion Meets Purpose: Educating the Next Generation Through Style and Sustainability
Mon Coeur believes sustainability education must start young. The collection aims to spark environmental curiosity and introduce core green values to children. Designed for daily wear and lifelong impact, every item reflects responsible sourcing and forward-thinking design.
The dinner at Chez Margaux reflected Mon Coeur’s luxury-meets-purpose brand ethos. With florals from local farms and decor sourced from reclaimed materials, every element carried intention and purpose. Guests praised the thoughtfulness behind the event, the collection, and the partnership’s educational reach.
The Billion Oyster Project’s presence brought scientific credibility and urgency to the fashionable evening. Educators and marine biologists mingled with fashionistas, offering a rare blend of innovation, advocacy, and aesthetics in one room.
Fashion doesn’t just influence wardrobes—it shapes ideas, perspectives, and futures. Events like this prove brands can lead the charge for cultural and ecological transformation. Mon Coeur continues to prove that style, education, and sustainability belong in the same conversation.
