French term or phrase: kakemono
Hello,

As part of an interview assessment form for a clothes store:
Associer un geste pour l'accroche :
- déplier un tee shirt et présenter un détail du produit
- décrocher un article
- bouger un kakémono

Any suggestions? Thanks!

kakemono
Explanation:
Although I've never heard this word in French or English, it's in my Harrap's FR-EN as "kakemono" (Art.). Alas, it's not in the OED, however.

Good luck!

Hiya, Thanks for your swift reply! Normally kakemono is a Japanese scroll painting, so I guess that's why it comes under (art.) in your dictionary...here it is specifically in the advertising sense, which is why I selected the answer that reflects this. Many thanks for your time and trouble! Lucy-Jane
