If something is “back in fashion,” it is popular again; people used to like it in the past and now they like it again. In the 1980s, Japanese technology products dominated the US market. Then, there was a crash in the 1990s, resulting in a 20-year economic slump and decreased demand for Japanese products in the US. Now, Japanese technology and design is “back in fashion,” or Japanese products are popular again. In the 1980s, midcentury homes were very popular. Then, they went out of style for a while, and now, midcentury style homes have had a resurgence in popularity, or are “back in fashion.”
