whatsit

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

'item i can't name' is the definition.
I don't know anything about this answer so I cannot judge whether this works.

'women's accessory model' is the wordplay.
'women' becomes 'w' (standard abbreviation).
'accessory' becomes 'hat' (I've seen this before).
'model' becomes 'sit' (e.g. for a painting).
'w'+'hat'+'sit'='WHATSIT'

'shows' acts as a link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for whatsit that I've seen before include "Thingumajig" , "Thingummy" , "person not to be named" , "something indefinable" , "Something one can't recall" .)

I've seen this clue in The Times.
