Country of new men and fashion (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

norway

'country' is the definition.
(Norway is an example)

'new men and fashion' is the wordplay.
'new' becomes 'n'.
'men' becomes 'or' (I've seen this in other clues).
'and' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'fashion' becomes 'way' ('way' can be a synonym of 'fashion'**).
'n'+'or'+'way'='NORWAY'

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for norway that I've seen before include "Now, Ray, go to the country" , "Where Quisling was" , "See twelve across" , "Grieg, Ibsen country" , "European kingdom" .)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
