I mean start building experience in the industry from where you were. I assume chemicals knowledge is applicable for fabric manufacturers. Then you can migrate to retail and later high fashion

If you want serious advice ask a serious question. Saying you want to work in fashion is pretty vague. Do you want to work in consulting serving clients in the fashion industry? Do you want to be a designer or model? Do you want to be an executive at a company in the fashion space? If so, what kind and how near in (are you thinking LVMH or Rent the Runway)? The answer to how do you get there from where you are now is very different for all of those

Join a firm where LVMH is one if our biggest account. What do you bring to the table?

Start a line on your own. Promote the hell out of it. Become well known. Get acquired. Boom.

Go from customer experience strategy to merchandising/buying.
