A good example of register incorporating European fashion (4,5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

role model

'a good example' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'register incorporating european fashion' is the wordplay.
'register' becomes 'roll' (list of names).
'incorporating' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'european' becomes 'E' (abbreviation e.g. EU).
'fashion' becomes 'mode' (synonyms).
'e'+'mode'='emode'
'roll' enclosing 'emode' is 'ROLE-MODEL'.

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for role model that I've seen before include "Paragon" , "One whose example should be followed" , "someone worthy of imitation" , "Someone looked up to" , "One worthy of imitation" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
