Fashionable moments came fast and furious in 2013. From the runways of fashion capitals and haute events hosted on our shores, to fashion-savvy personalities and major celebs doing The Rock — the moments are far too many to count. We’ve somehow managed to whittle them down to the 50 that made us stop and applaud. And, what better way to kick-start those moments than by showing off Saint International model Raschelle Osbourne between the pages of the January 2014 edition of South Africa Grazia?
