Fashion is about the product, be it clothing, shoes, hat, mascara, whatever. It's about the cut, the style, the texture, the color. With fashion the model, surroundings, lighting, and composition are chosen to complement the product. The image is constructed to communicate a sense of attitude, hip-ness, style, sex-appeal, etc. An effective fashion image sells the product.
Glamour is about the model, male or female. With glamour, the clothing, surroundings, etc. are chosen to complement him or her. Glamour also conveys attitude, style, sex-appeal, and what have you, but you're selling the face, the body, and the desirability of your subject.
You can make up your own mind where the lines cross. Gorgeous models will help sell a lot of product, and hip, trendy, products will sell images of gorgeous models.
