The focal point of this study is the enormous influence exerted by Serge Diaghilev's Ballets Russes on the European cultural and political scene on the eve of World War I, specifically the impact of the Russian artists on French fashion from 1909 to 1914. The Russian/French exchange in the world of art and fashion is examined in the larger context of the international community, beginning with the Franco-Russo entente in 1894. How did the political, social, economic, and diplomatic forces between democratic France and autocratic Russia work to help assure the friendly reception of the Ballets Russes? Viewing the Ballets Russes as an artistic construction of Russian national character, this dissertation analyzes the significance of its ultra sophisticated style for a Russia uncertain about its identity and status vis a vis the West and for a France hungry for "the exotic other." Through an analysis of the productions of Scheherazade, the Polovtsian Dances, L'Apres-midi d'un Faune, and Jeux, it illustrates the innovative roles that Russian artists like Leon Bakst played in developing new links among art, fashion, and theatre, and then evaluates how the dynamics of these relationships operated in the larger world of consumer culture and international society. It argues that the oriental staging of the ballets were both the precondition and catalyst for the rage for oriental fashion popularized by Paul Poiret, and explores the paradoxes inherent in Diaghilev's representation of the East. What were the forces that allowed Diaghilev's artists to assume a double identity, posing as the East to the West, while displaying a Eurocentric attitude towards Russia's non-European ethnic groups? It also points out the irony of Diaghilev's nationalist project of exporting Russian culture to the West becoming intricately linked to the moneyed world of French haute couture and international society. This dissertation uses the lens of dress and dance to study the configuration of identity on many levels---individual, social, and national.
