okay, that's a weird question to begin with. Fashion photography has (by far) the greatest technical latitude of any photographic genre so basically the camera doesn't matter. In fact, it's often said that camera's don't take excellent photos, photographers do.
But, with that said, I'm guessing that you're wondering what camera you should use to take fashion photos?
I personally use the Canon Digital Rebel:

I love it. It's an excellent camera that provides the options to shoot from the hip or compose your exposure. Meaning you can set it on "auto" and still get a decent exposure OR you can refine things so that you get exactly what you want if you know what you're doing.
I will say that if you're looking to recreate what you see in the mags then the camera doesn't mean shit. In the past I used a Yaschica 124 Mat G:

and pretty much got the same results. Only it was more of a pain in the ass. BUT, it was square format which really kicks ass in my mind.
Digital just allows me to stay out of the darkroom, because I hate the darkroom.
So, to conclude, I guess I would say that you should check out the Canon Digital Rebel OR the Nikon D-70:

In any event goto:
because you'll find the best info on digital cameras ever.
Email me () if you've got more questions because I'll probably not come back to this thread.
All the best :)
