Clothing and home design company (Gap, perhaps) — first to emerge overleaf (4,4)
I believe the answer is:
next page
'overleaf' is the definition.
(overleaf means on the opposite page)
'clothing and home design company gap perhaps first to emerge' is the wordplay.
'clothing and home design company' becomes 'next' (UK retailer).
'perhaps' indicates an anagram.
'first to' suggests taking the first letters.
The initial letter of 'emerge' is 'e'.
'gap' is an anagram of 'pag'.
'next'+'pag'+'e'='NEXT PAGE'
I've seen this clue in The Guardian.
