Escale is a 1952 by Carven, depicting womenswear, held at Palais Galliera - Musée de la Mode de la Ville de Paris.
This sketch shows a woman in a long, brown coat with a high collar and matching hat. The coat has a textured look, like woven fabric, and she’s standing with one hand on her hip. The skirt is straight and hits just above her ankles, with a lighter underskirt peeking through. The word *Escale* (meaning "stopover") is written at the top—maybe hinting this outfit was meant for travel or a pause in a journey. The loose, confident pose makes the coat look sleek and practical.
