Morphology
The meaning 'a person who designs clothing' is directly and transparently derived from combining 'clothes' (wearable items) with 'designer' (one who designs). This simple noun–noun modifier pattern is cross-linguistically common and follows straightforward composition, so a B1 learner who knows both words will understand the MWE.
Etymology
Clothes designer comes from the simple picture of someone who draws and plans clothes and is the designer who makes patterns and ideas on paper before the clothes are made. So, clothes designer means 'a person who creates and plans clothing'.
