Could be a fashion-centre in the papers (7)
I believe the answer is:
perhaps
'could be a' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'fashion-centre in the papers' is the wordplay.
'fashion' is an anagram indicator.
'centre in' means to look at the middle letters.
The middle of 'the' is 'h'.
'h'+'papers'='hpapers'
'hpapers' is an anagram of 'PERHAPS'.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for perhaps that I've seen before include "Quite possibly" , "Conceivably" , "Possibly, maybe" , "Possibly but not certainly" , "It may be" .)
