window-dresser
Storefront visual artist
A window-dresser arranges merchandise displays in shop windows to attract customers.
The term extends to anyone who makes something look more appealing than it is—presenting information or situations in the best possible light while obscuring less flattering realities: Critics called the report mere window-dressing.
