Escales is a musical journey through five sound creations imagined specifically for fitting rooms. Originally from Lebanon, Egypt, Greece, Morocco and France, five female composers were invited to create new works, based on sound recordings made in a port city in their country of origin. Each fitting room equipped with shower speakers becomes a real musical stopover and invites immersion, a metaphor for the shores of the Mediterranean.

Galeries Lafayette has always made a commitment to creation one of its founding values. Its stores act as mediators between artists and the general public, according to the great principles that shaped its birth: "the unique meeting of creation and commerce for all". A rare space of intimacy in the hustle and bustle of department stores, the fitting rooms become the perfect place to experiment with sensitive works. 

Escales is an artistic commission from Galeries Lafayette.
