Morphology
The meaning is directly and compositionally derived from 'costume' (a set of clothes worn to represent a character) + 'designer' (a person who designs), yielding an agent who designs costumes. This [noun + designer] pattern is productive and cross-linguistically common, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents would readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Costume designer is a compound from theater and film: a costume is the clothes a character wears and a designer is the person who plans and makes outfits, so a costume designer is 'a person who designs or chooses clothes for a show'.
