Morphology
fashionmongering + skill
The phrase can be compositionally parsed as skill (ability) related to fashionmongering (promoting/selling fashion), so its core meaning is derivable from the parts. However, 'mongering' is a low-frequency, somewhat specialized element with negative/nuanced connotations and the compound 'fashionmongering' is rare, so a B1 learner who knows only common words may not reliably predict the exact sense without prior exposure.
Etymology
Fashionmongering skill comes from the old word monger, meaning a seller who would call out and show goods in a market to make people want them. Imagine someone loudly praising a new dress so others buy it — that talent for selling fashion is the picture behind the phrase. So fashionmongering skill means 'skill in promoting or selling fashion'.
