In Munich, an elegant fashion house (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

chanel

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

'fashion house' is the definition.
Both the definition and answer are singular nouns.
Perhaps there's a link between them I don't understand?

'in munich an elegant' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'CHANEL' can be found hidden inside 'munich an elegant'.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for chanel that I've seen before include "Scent company" , "French fashion designer and perfumier, d. 1971" , "Coco --, French fashion designer" , "Coco -, Fr. designer" , "See 1" .)
