This rep turned out to be a fashion icon (7)

I believe the answer is:

hipster

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

'be a fashion icon' is the definition.
The definition suggests a singular noun which matches the answer.

'this rep turned out' is the wordplay.
'turned out' is an anagram indicator (turn out can mean to organise).
'this'+'rep'='thisrep'
'thisrep' anagrammed gives 'HIPSTER'.

'to' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hipster that I've seen before include "kind of pants" , "Trendsetter" , "Trendy person" , "fitting below the waist" , "jazz he likes" .)
