Award-winning designer Tom Piper is known for the breadth of his work and collaborations, from stage designs for the Royal Shakespeare Company to his Tower of London poppies to the V&A’s acclaimed Alice: Curiouser and Curiouser exhibition. 
 
Join him in conversation with V&A Senior Curator Kate Bailey for a discussion of his latest collaboration with the V&A, this summer’s Taylor Swift Songbook Trail, exploring the process and inspirations for each installation, as they bring to life a different era of the pop artist’s musical career through set dressing, music video and sound.
