Fashion considered to be toned down (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

moderated

'be toned down' is the definition.
(I've seen this before)

'fashion considered' is the wordplay.
'fashion' becomes 'mode' ('mode' can be a synonym of 'fashion'**).
'considered' becomes 'rated' (I've seen this before).
'mode'+'rated'='MODERATED'

'to' is the link.

(Another definition for moderated that I've seen is " toned down".)

I've seen this clue in The Telegraph.
