Philippine Tatler's pick for Asia's Most Stylish 2017 is Tootsy Echauz Angara, who graces the first issue of the magazine for the year
Philippine Tatler's pick for Asia’s Most Stylish 2017, the fresh-faced Tootsy Echauz-Angara entered the holding room on the dot at seven in the morning—straight from a four-hour drive from Manila to Las Casas Filipinas de Acuzar in Bataan. Despite being on the road in the middle of the night and having come from a full day of work, Tootsy made it on time, was all smiles and remarkable cheer. Without a hint of fatigue on her face, she was poised and excited to start the day.
She was warm and gracious, instantly making everybody feel comfortable. A team player by nature, she helped with the set and unpacked some of the Gucci shoes herself to prepare for the shoot. Halfway through getting dolled up in Patrick Rosas’ make-up chair, she plops herself down onto the fl oor in the middle of the room and asked the team to join her for a quick lunch break, picnic-style.
