Very tough and very clever puzzle with some brilliant clue constructions.
25 was the ultimate sticking point for me,I kept trying to fit ZEST to the wordplay.It was only on looking again the following day that the penny dropped.
Love the Zappa link – they don’t make ‘em like that any more!

I read 10 across as dart reversed inside rage, with rage = fashion (all the rage) and rag trade being the industry.

A very tricky puzzle as your excellent blog makes clear. Made the mistake of putting “Tomatoes” in 17 down. JEST was very hard to get, but the great thing with Nestor is that you know the puzzle is fair and you just have to beaver away at it to see all the subleties.
