"Costume Design by Leon Samoilovitch Bakst" refers to the body of work created by the Russian artist and costume designer Léon Bakst (1866–1924), who was a key figure in the world of theater and the visual arts during the late 19th and early 20th centuries. Bakst was most renowned for his work with the Ballets Russes, a groundbreaking ballet company that performed throughout Europe and on international tours, and for his collaborations with impresario Sergei Diaghilev.

Bakst's costume designs were celebrated for their rich colors, intricate patterns, and historical accuracy blended with fantastical elements. His work often drew inspiration from a variety of sources, including ancient Greek art, Russian folklore, Orientalism, and the burgeoning Art Nouveau movement. Bakst's designs were not only aesthetically striking but also innovative in their use of new materials and techniques, which helped to redefine the visual language of ballet and theater in the early 20th century.

Some of Bakst's most famous costume designs were for productions such as "Cleopatra" (1909), "Scheherazade" (1910), "The Firebird" (1910), and "Afternoon of a Faun" (1912). These works were instrumental in shaping the visual identity of the Ballets Russes and left a lasting impact on the world of performing arts. Bakst's influence extended beyond the stage, as his designs also contributed to the broader Art Deco movement and had a significant effect on fashion and interior design.

The legacy of Leon Bakst's costume designs is preserved in numerous collections, including the Victoria and Albert Museum in London, the National Gallery of Australia, and the Bakhrushin State Central Theatre Museum in Moscow. His work continues to be studied and celebrated for its artistic significance and contribution to the evolution of costume design in the performing arts.
