Keeping in fashion behind bar for the most part (7)

I believe the answer is:

storage

I'm a little stuck... Click here to teach me more about this clue!

'keeping' is the definition.
(I know that storage is a type of keeping)

'fashion behind bar for the most part' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
'fashion' could be 'rage' (something all the rage is fashionable) and 'rage' is found in the answer.
'bar' could be 't' (T-bar is a part of a ski lift) and 't' is found within the answer.
'part' could be 'so' (so is a kind of part) and 'so' is found within the leftover letters.
This accounts for all the letters.
This explanation may well be incorrect...

'in' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for storage that I've seen before include "Space available for keeping goods" , "Longer-term laying up" , "Available space for keeping things" , "Cost of keeping in a warehouse" , "safekeeping" .)
