Morphology
The literal meanings of 'come' (move toward/arrive) + 'in' (into) give a plausible metaphorical reading of 'entering' a state, so 'come in' as 'enter fashion' is partially derivable. However, the specific sense 'become fashionable' is a conventionalized metaphoric extension and may not be fully predictable to a B1 learner without exposure, so it is best classified as partially transparent.
Etymology
The phrasal verb come in also gives the image of news or messages arriving into a room or office; reports or calls come in to the place where people wait for them. So come in means 'to arrive' or 'be received'.
