Spotted in the windows of a Department store (Hermes?) in Dublin (click for larger):
They are trying to invoke a car that has been taken apart and draped with splendid clothing to form the display. In the picture below (click for larger), the second window’s oil can, in the carefully chosen-to-match colour, is a very nice touch, I think. The first window does work quite a bit better though. However I do like the fact that they just have the engine hanging there like that, in the second window. Close up of it in the thumbnail. I wonder what sort it is?
Quite different from the hats in Harrods – remember those? – but quite a clever display idea all the same.

I think that the deconstructed car is an ingenious idea. Who could have thought of something more clever and original. I plan to base one of my upcoming artworks on it. Fabulous!
