Losing heart, what separates us from the French designer (6)
I believe the answer is:
chanel
'the french designer' is the definition.
(I've seen this in another clue)
I can't explain the rest of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for chanel that I've seen before include "Coco -, Fr. designer" , "Coco --, French fashion designer" , "Scent company" , "See 1" , "French fashion designer and perfumier, d. 1971" .)
