Morphology

fashion + collection

The meaning is directly and transparently derived from combining 'fashion' (style/current dress) with 'collection' (an assembled set), yielding a set of clothing items presented together. This straightforward noun+noun composition is common in English and other languages, so a B1 learner who knows both words would readily infer the MWE's meaning.

Etymology

Fashion collection comes from the idea of a designer gathering clothes and accessories into one group to show all at once; fashion means 'style' and collection means 'group'. That's why fashion collection now means the set of clothes a designer makes for a certain 'season' or 'show'.
