Hello. The obvious first choices are places like Pike Place Market, Pioneer Square, the Waterfront, a ferry ride, Seattle Center, Space Needle, etc.
Other than that, based on your interests, I'd recommend the following:
Seattle Art Museum - currently being renovated, but will be open starting again in May. So, I guess it depends on when you are visiting Seattle. The Asian Art Museum is also great. Info for both can be found with this link:
http://www.seattleartmuseum.org/
There's also the Henry Art Gallery on the UW campus. I've never been there, but I've heard that it's worthwhile...

As for photography, heres a few places I'd recommend you take your camera for beautiful photos:
Kerry Park - Best view of the city, the view most often seen on postcards and the closest you'll find to the view from "Frasier's" apartment:

Alki Point - Great view of the city from a distance. Also on a clear day, it's a great view of the Olympic Mountains and the sunset.

If you want a list of art exhibits, photo exhibits, etc. while you are here, I'd recommend visiting the link below and typing in the dates you will be in Seattle. You can usually find some really interesting stuff do do on here...

Hope that helps!
(And sorry I don't know more about fashion!)

Spend a day at the Seattle Center - where the Space Needle, Experience Music Project, the Center House, Pacific Science Center, etc. are. Lots of cool photo-ops there.

Then spend a day in the waterfront area. There's a new sculpture park that just opened. Pike Place Market is quite nice, and has lots of little shops, including photo and fashion places.

Then, if you're into photography of nature also, you need to take a day trip to either the San Juan Islands, Mt. Rainier or the Olympic Peninsula. They're all beautiful in their own ways and will provide many terrific pictures.
As for eating, there are SO many choices, it's virtually impossible to list them here. If you go to the website below, it has several links to area restaurants.
Enjoy your trip - it's a gorgeous area!

Definitely the Waterfront! Seattle Aquarium, Ye Olde Curiosity Shop, Ivar's Acres of Clams, etc. Check out the Space Center, Space Needle, the Seattle Art Museum, etc. Woodland Park Zoo, the Ballard Locks; the list could go on for a very long time.

Drive north on I-5 to the Fairhaven exit in Bellingham. It will take you about an hour and ten minutes from Seattle.
Take a left at the stop sign and drive into Faihaven. Take a right onto State street. You can see so much off of State street. Stop anywhere that interests you: there will be many choices. State Street will take you right into the heart of old town.
It will blow your mind.
