Crossword Genius

The latest slavish followers of sitcom vanish, if convulsed! (7,7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

fashion victims

'the latest slavish followers' is the definition.
(followers of latest trends)

'sitcom vanish if convulsed' is the wordplay.
'convulsed' indicates an anagram (letters convulse or shake).
'sitcom'+'vanish'+'if'='sitcomvanishif'
'sitcomvanishif' anagrammed gives 'FASHION VICTIMS'.

'of' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
