Fashion the French ship without distinction (9)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

styleless

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

'without distinction' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this definition defines the answer.

'fashion the french ship' is the wordplay.
'fashion' becomes 'style' (synonyms).
'the french' becomes 'le' ('the' in French).
'ship' becomes 'SS' (prefix in ship names eg SS Great Britain).
'style'+'le'+'ss'='STYLELESS'

Can you help me to learn more?

(Another definition for styleless that I've seen is " Clothes are so unfashionable".)

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