Tristin & Tyler

STYLIST: TRISTIN & TYLER AGE: 8
HOMETOWN: NEW YORK CITY

Stars of the web series Tristin and Tyler Tales from the City carved out time in their jam- packed schedules—which includes craft time and saving the planet—to stop by the Earnshaw’s fashion closet and prove that twins can indeed have individual style. The guest styl- ists congratulated one another on a job well done with a five-step handshake that only twins could master.

On weekends the brothers catch up with city dwellers to learn tips of the trade. From recy- cling old items into new treasures with Brooklyn furniture makers to whipping up healthy snacks with chef Giada De Laurentiis, the mini movers and shakers share their adventures online and inspire kids to get out and learn about ways to improve the planet. Here, they share advice on everything from shopping to recycling.
