Claridge's Adds A Fashion Artist-in-Residence

Here’s a particularly highbrow fashion and art mash-up — Claridge’s, the star-studded London hotel, just brought on the fashion illustrator David Downton as their newest staff member.  Downton, whose title is “fashion artist-in-residence,” will sketch the hotel’s famous guests who agree to sit for him.  The results will be installed as part of Claridge’s art collection.
