Art house style changes like a prevailing breeze (5-8)

I believe the answer is:

south-easterly

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

'like a prevailing breeze' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'art house style changes' is the wordplay.
'changes' indicates an anagram.
'art'+'house'+'style'='arthousestyle'
'arthousestyle' anagrammed gives 'SOUTH-EASTERLY'.

Can you help me to learn more?
