Morphology
The meaning is directly derivable from the constituents: 'fashion' (style of dress) combined with 'sense' (a natural ability or flair) yields 'a sense for fashion' or 'ability in fashion.' This noun+noun composition expressing a personal trait is cross-linguistically common (e.g., Spanish 'sentido de la moda'), so a B1 learner who knows both words will likely understand it.
Etymology
Fashion sense combines fashion, meaning clothes and style, and sense, meaning a natural ability or 'feel' for what looks good. So imagine someone who seems to 'feel' which items go well together, and that's why fashion sense means the ability to choose stylish clothes.
