and you can’t get it repaired? Nikon makes a pretty durable camera so I’m wondering what possibly could have been done to damage this camera to the point that it’s irreparable. I broke the shutter on my D100 and Nikon refurbished at my request.
The camera doesn’t determine it’s application, the photographer does.
There is no such thing as a fashion camera.
My suggestion would be to inquire about repairing what you have.
How did you break it? (the curiosity is killing me)

The least expensive replacement for your D90 is the D40. You should be able to find a good used one for under £200.
Before you do replace your camera, check with Nikon and see what it will cost to repair your damaged camera.
If there were such a thing as a “fashion” camera (other than the Hasselblad that is) the D40 might qualify.
When shooting fashion outdoors using flash, it can be very difficult to shoot a large apertures to control depth of field because most cameras have a maximum of 1/200th or 1/250th flash sync speed. The D40 does not suffer from this limitation.
Here is a link which is not fashion, but shows the D40 in action at 1/1000th second in bright sun with an electronic flash.

If you are really on a budget and want the best quality for the money, check out the P&S Panasonic Lumix DMC-FZ28 [with a Leica lense and Live View] which has more features than most pro DSLRs that require auxiliary lenses not even equal to the single initial full-range lense that comes with the FZ28. It is reviewed at:
It’s an all-in-one 10.1 megapixel digital camera which includes (i) built-in image stabilization and Live Action viewer; (ii) HD720 quality video [Quicktime] which permits zooming while videoing outdoor fashion shows, action sports; (iii) a 18x zoom [27 - 486 mm (35mm equiv.)] “Leica” lense for “nature” and concert photography; (iv) up to 0.39 inch macro option; (v) up to 6400 ASA; (vi) takes up to 380 pictures per 120 min. battery charge; (vii) has a “burst speed” of 13 fps; and sells new for $464 at amazon.com. in the U.S.
Here’s an actual handheld picture of the moon:
Good luck!
