Fashion house opposed to imported red paper? (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

pravda

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

'red paper?' is the definition.
(newspaper of the Communist Party in the USSR)

'fashion house opposed to imported' is the wordplay.
'fashion house' becomes 'prada' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should give a lot more credence to this answer).
'opposed to' becomes 'v' (abbreviation for versus).
'imported' indicates putting letters inside.
'prada' enclosing 'v' is 'PRAVDA'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for pravda that I've seen before include "Russian daily newspaper ('Truth')" , "Moscow newspaper" , "Russian newspaper title meaning "truth"" , "Soviet newspaper" , "red-top newspaper?" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
