'escort' is the definition.
(thesaurus)

'on vacation' is the wordplay.
'on' becomes 'at' (I've seen this in other clues).
'vacation' becomes 'tend' (I can't explain this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'at'+'tend'='ATTEND'

'and milliner removing clothes getting naked' is the link.
This may not be correct. Some or all of it may belong to another bit of the clue.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for attend that I've seen before include "Pay heed" , "Wait upon or be present" , "Show up" , "Go regularly to, church perhaps" , "notice" .)
