Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'fashion' (styles of dress) combined with 'designer' (a person who designs) yields a person who designs fashion items. This noun–noun/attributive pattern is regular and cross‑linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Fashion designer combines fashion (the way people dress) and designer (someone who plans or draws things). Imagine an artist sketching clothes and choosing fabrics to make new looks — that's the picture behind a fashion designer, so the phrase means 'a person who creates new styles of clothing'.
