The costume for Vaslav Nijinsky in the ballet 'Scheherazade' was designed by the renowned Russian artist and stage designer Leon Samoilovitch Bakst (1866-1924). Bakst, a pivotal figure in the world of theatrical design, was celebrated for his vibrant and exotic creations that significantly influenced early 20th-century stage aesthetics. His work for 'Scheherazade,' a ballet choreographed by Michel Fokine and first performed by Sergei Diaghilev's Ballets Russes in 1910, is among his most iconic contributions to the world of ballet.

'Scheherazade' is based on the tales from 'One Thousand and One Nights,' and Bakst's designs were instrumental in bringing the opulent and sensuous world of the Arabian Nights to life on stage. The costume for Nijinsky, who played the Golden Slave, is particularly noteworthy for its elaborate and luxurious design. Bakst's use of rich fabrics, intricate patterns, and bold colors created a visually stunning and evocative representation of the character. The costume typically featured a fitted, jewel-encrusted bodice, flowing harem pants, and elaborate headpieces, all of which contributed to the exotic and otherworldly atmosphere of the production.

Bakst's designs for 'Scheherazade' were groundbreaking in their use of color and texture, and they played a crucial role in the overall success and enduring legacy of the ballet. The costumes not only enhanced the narrative and emotional impact of the performance but also set new standards for theatrical design. Bakst's work for 'Scheherazade' remains a seminal example of the fusion of visual art and performance, showcasing his ability to create immersive and imaginative worlds that captivate audiences and transport them to distant lands.
