It depends where you would like to work in a magazine. Art/Design (ie laying out the magazine, giving it its look), Features (articles, interviews, trend sections) or Fashion (styling, what to buy, editorials, etc). They all require different work experiences and qualifications (though 'qualifications' is debatable - if someone has amazing experience, they will probably be chosen over someone with the 'qualification').
In regards to something like features (which I'm most familiar with), I'm in the camp which believes that an English Literature major, or Art History, History, Sociology, etc will be much better than a 'Fashion' degree. Some may disagree though, but from my experience it has been more preferred.
Have a look in the rest of the Careers section for more information about other aspects of careers in fashion magazines.
