Maddens things in vogue following some measure (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

enrages

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

'in vogue following some measure' is the wordplay.
'in vogue' becomes 'rages' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'following' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'some measure' becomes 'en' (typographical measure).
'rages' put after 'en' is 'ENRAGES'.

'things' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for enrages that I've seen before include "Makes red" , "Works up" , "Makes furious" , "Incenses" , "Infuriates" .)

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