One person from Far East owns clothes range (9)

I believe the answer is:

himalayas

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

'range' is the definition.
(Himalayas is an example)

'one person from far east owns clothes' is the wordplay.
'one' becomes 'i' (roman numeral).
'person from far east' becomes 'malay' (I can't justify this - if you can you should believe this answer much more).
'owns' becomes 'has' ('have' can be a synonym of 'own').
'clothes' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'i'+'malay'='imalay'
'imalay' put into 'has' is 'HIMALAYAS'.

(Other definitions for himalayas that I've seen before include "Mountain range" , "Nepalese mountains" .)
