Can 'real' fashion be done with a 'glamour'-type model?

from shawn gibson (shawngibson_prophoto@yahoo.com)
A lot of my models just do not look like fashion models; they look more like glamour models or actors (whatever an actor looks like?). I've done a lot to try to capture them in a 'fashion' spirit anyways; but most of the time when I try to do this I don't get what anyone doing real fashion for a living would call 'a fashion photo'; I end up with more of a celebrity portraiture kind of shot, bordering on I guess what you'd call glamour.

Should I only be shooting fashion-types if I want a fashion photo, and start learning a little about celebrity portraiture/glamour/etc? I'm asking this not on a 'do whatever you like' basis, but more of a 'could I ever be taken seriously in the professional world' basis...

Thanks people. shawn
