Hi there,

Am unsure of 17d (8) 'Dior's to be into various hose in form of footwear'.
I've got s-o-t-e- and can only think of 'shoetree' but can't see the connection with Dior.

Any ideas?

Dior is French where "to be" is etre. Put etre inside an anagram of HOSE gives SHOETREE

What can I say? Respect - I'd NEVER have seen that. I was so hung up on anything I knew about Dior, apart from the screamingly obvious. Many thanks.
