Fashion icon pursuing a star's capital (8)
I believe the answer is:
asuncion
'capital' is the definition.
(Asuncion is an example)
'fashion icon pursuing a star's' is the wordplay.
I cannot quite see how this works, but
an anagram of 'icon' is 'ncio' which is within the answer.
'a' is found in the answer.
'star' could be 'sun' (Sun is an example) and 'sun' is present in the answer.
This accounts for all the letters.
This may be the basis of clue (or it may be nonsense).
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for asuncion that I've seen before include "Capital of Paraquay" , "Capital city of Paraguay" , "South American capital city" .)
