Morphology
The meaning is directly compositional: 'fashion' (style of dress) + 'consultant' (someone who gives professional advice) yields a consultant who advises on fashion. This is a common, cross-linguistically transparent noun phrase that a B1 learner who knows both words should be able to understand without prior exposure.
Etymology
The phrase fashion consultant comes from the old practice of dressmakers and helpers standing beside a client to choose outfits; fashion means 'style' and a consultant is a person who 'gives advice', so today a fashion consultant helps people choose clothes and their personal look.
