Morphology
The phrase combines 'in' (expressing inclusion or being within a state) with 'fashion' (current style), so the meaning 'within current style' is directly derivable from the parts. This compositional pattern (being 'in' something = part of the prevailing state) is common cross-linguistically and should be clear to an average B1 learner who knows both words.
Etymology
In fashion may come from the picture of being in a small group that follows a certain fashion. If you are inside that group, people see you as stylish. That's why in fashion means 'popular and stylish now'.
