Fashion house in Lincoln between lakes (5)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

label

'fashion house' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'lincoln between lakes' is the wordplay.
'lincoln' becomes 'abe' (Abraham Lincoln).
'between' is an insertion indicator.
'lakes' becomes 'LL' (a geographical abbreviation for lake written twice).
'abe' going within 'll' is 'LABEL'.

'in' is the link.

(Other definitions for label that I've seen before include "Sticker" , "Give name to" , "Mark" , "Tag, tab" , "Identifying tag" .)

I've seen this clue in The Sun.
