Like marquetry of fashionable Dali design (6)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

inlaid

'like marquetry' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)

'fashionable dali design' is the wordplay.
'fashionable' becomes 'in' (in can mean fashionable or trendy).
'design' indicates anagramming the letters.
'dali' anagrammed gives 'laid'.
'in'+'laid'='INLAID'

'of' is the link.

(Other definitions for inlaid that I've seen before include "With embedded design" , "Chased" , "(Of gems) embedded" , "Having been set into surface to be parallel with it" , "Studded" .)

I've seen this clue in The Globe and Mail.
