Morphology
The meaning is directly built from 'fashion' (current styles) + 'industry' (business sector), following the common noun-noun pattern 'X industry' that denotes the business area related to X. This compositional pattern is cross-linguistically common and therefore a B1 learner who knows both constituent words will readily infer the meaning.
Etymology
Fashion industry brings together fashion, the way people dress and make clothes, and industry, the 'business' of making and selling things. When making and selling clothes became a big business, people used fashion industry to mean the whole set of companies and work that design, make and sell stylish clothing today.
