Morphology
The meaning 'the industry involved in designing, making, marketing, and selling fashionable clothing and accessories' is directly and compositionally derived from 'fashion' (style in dress) + 'business' (commercial activity). This straightforward noun+noun construction is common across languages, so a B1 learner who knows both constituents will readily infer the MWE's meaning.
Etymology
Fashion business joins fashion (making new styles of clothes) and business (buying and selling them). Imagine a designer in a small workshop making a dress that later appears in a shop — that picture explains why the phrase means 'the business of designing, making and selling fashionable clothes' today.
