Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from composing 'fashion' (current style) as a modifier of 'crowd' (a group of people), so it straightforwardly denotes a group interested in fashion. This noun+noun/ modifier+noun pattern is a common and predictable English construction (and parallels exist in many languages), so a B1 learner who knows the constituent words will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Fashion crowd comes from the image of people gathering at shows to see new fashion, a crowd of well-dressed people watching the latest styles. That's why it now means 'a group of people who are especially interested in fashion trends'.
