Can the word fashion be used as an adjective?
Yes-- there are many fashion magazines, fashion shows, and fashion models.
A noun can be an adjective.
When we put two nouns directly together to form a noun phrase, the first noun will become an adjective. Therefore we can use the word “fashion” + a noun to form a noun phrase in order to make the word “fashion” as an adjective. e.g. “fashion week”.
In the phrase “school bus”, the word “school” is used as an adjective to qualify the noun “bus”.
In the phrase “bus driver”, the word “bus” is now an adjective which modifies the noun “driver”.
I remember somebody gave me two examples of “sugar” and “cane”.
When these two words are standalone, they are nouns.
When “sugar” and “cane” are put together, however, the word “sugar” acts as an adjective and qualifies the noun “cane”. “Sugar cane” is a kind of cane which is rich in sugar.
On the contrary, “cane sugar” is a kind of sugar which is extracted from cane. Now the word “cane” is an adjective while “sugar” is a noun.
I wish I am not misleading.

It can be used rarely as an adjective. Most often it is used as a noun.
But the question posed was, “Can it be used as an adjective.” On the same page yet?
