'fashion line presenters ultimately?' is the definition.
I can't tell whether this definition defines the answer.

'fashion line presenters ultimately?' is the wordplay.
'fashion' becomes 'mode' (synonyms).
'line' becomes 'l' (used when specifying particular lines from a poem).
'ultimately?' indicates one should take the final letters (I've seen 'ultimately' mean this).
The final letter of 'presenters' is 's'.
'mode'+'l'+'s'='MODELS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for models that I've seen before include "Representative forms or patterns" , "Those who sit" , "Poses for artists" , "Clothes-horses" , "Seldom (anag)" .)
