Women's fashions are a great field. Salaries are commensurate with abilities and track record.
You will start in floor sales, up to Buyer, then up to Merchandise Manager, (includes overseeing several departments, controlling budgets for each). With college and proper credentials, you may start as an Asst. Manager. Promotion is usually within.
This is a big question. Fashion is a high risk, fast turnover, fast changing business.
Having all the necessary knowledge in "book learning" will not guarantee success. It takes a special "feeling" of "what's next". Much of that can be learned by knowing your "customer's taste" always changing, and studying industry news.
There's an old axiom: "The right merchandise, at the right price, at the right time".
Markdowns can be disastrous in High Fashion
Anywhere is good. California is usually "first" in new fashions, and then it spreads Eastward.

I went to school for Fashion Merchandising. Ultimately all I would have ended up doing was probably managing a store or something, and I really didnt want that. You have to be a go getter, and really know what aspect of Fashion Merchandising you want to go into. You could be a buyer, or a visual merchandiser, or what ever. Just know what it is you want.
