Progetto di costume per Hyppolite
Léon Bakst captures the heroic spirit of Greek mythology in this costume sketch for Hippolytus. The archer stands with a confident hand on his hip, sporting a stylish blue hat and a tunic that mixes classical armor with a playful, patterned skirt. To the right, you can see little fabric swatches—Bakst was meticulous about textures, planning out the exact blue and gold motifs for the costume. As a lead designer for the legendary Ballets Russes, Bakst's bold use of color and exotic patterns revolutionized stage design and even sparked a fashion craze in Paris.
