Meet DiAndre Tristan

Has anyone been watching Good Morning America and said "OMG Robin Roberts looks amazing." Well it's all thanks to her wonderful stylist DiAndre Tristan. During New York Fashion I was invited by DiAndre to come spend time at the ABC studios,  where GMA was being shot and I got some behind the scenes preview of how he gets her ready.

I arrived at the studio at 5am and was greeted by Tristan with a warm smile and kind demeanor. He is a cutie with a subtle but edgy style.  I was quickly rushed upstairs where he had pulled several looks for Roberts for the morning taping. Many of the looks included DiAndre's go to designers such as Alexander McQueen, Stella McCartney and Burberry Prorsum.

Tristan hard at work, I love the hat
Tristan is a Washington DC native who has always had a knack for fashion. He has dressed performing artists, celebrities and magazine editors just to name a few. So it was no surprise when he met Elena George, Robin Roberts make-up artist, a 5 time Emmy Award winner and his mentor, she quickly  recommended him for the job. I love how he has introduced a sexy sophistication and an array of colors to Roberts morning wardrobe. Tristan stated "My goal is to make sure my clients always look gorgeous and feel confident."  He has definitely achieved that with Roberts. 

 Here is a brief video I took of Tristan, yes it's brief because he is video shy. 

Seriously she is probably one of the best dressed women on morning television. Here are a few of DiAndre's timeless creations.
