Revolutionary fashion leader in gathering (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

tucking

'gathering' is the definition.
('tuck' can be a synonym of 'gather')

'revolutionary fashion leader' is the wordplay.
'revolutionary' shows that the letters should be reversed in order.
'fashion' becomes 'cut' (cut is a kind of fashion).
'leader' becomes 'king' (a king is a royal leader).
'cut' reversed gives 'tuc'.
'tuc'+'king'='TUCKING'

'in' acts as a link.

I've seen this clue in The Hindu.
