ARTFULNESS The quality or state of being artful or showing a noteworthy use of imagination and creativity:

The enchanting and transporting use of color in Walt Disney's animations for the film Sleeping Beauty and Vincent van Gogh's landscape and still-life paintings provided inspiration for Rodarte's spring/summer 2012 collection. The unlikely combination of sources produced fanciful designs featuring elements of the Dutch artist's Post-Impressionist paintings. Here, the artist's sunflowers are animated in layers and tiers of fluttering silk chiffon.
