Rude article in Le Monde by fashion journalist (10)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

unmannered

'rude' is the definition.
(I know that rude can be written as unmannered)

'article in le monde by fashion journalist' is the wordplay.
'article in le monde' becomes 'un' (French indefinite article eg in Le Monde newspaper).
'by' says to put letters next to each other.
'fashion' becomes 'manner' (synonyms).
'journalist' becomes 'ed' (short for editor).
'un'+'manner'+'ed'='UNMANNERED'

(Another definition for unmannered that I've seen is " Not affected in style".)
