Taylor Swift Trail

V&A Museum, London

Illustrated icons

This small illustrative system was created for the V&A museum, South Kensington, London. The V&A curated an exhibition about Taylor Swift, called the “Taylor Swift  / Songbook”, a trail across different eras of her career, through different items of the museum: costumes, objects, jewlery, installations. Honor Richardson, art director at the V&A comissionned me to represent 5 items of the collection, to invite the audience into a treasure hunt for the objects across the exhibit. The illustrations were used in the digital map for the audience, as well as printed into leaflets of postcards to commemorate the event.

A huge thanks to Honor Grace Richardson for the invitation to work on this project 

(she’s the graphic designer behind the beautiful designs for the digital map and post card concertina), it was an honour to contribute to this exhibit :) !

Take a journey through V&A South Kensington's galleries to discover iconic looks worn by pop phenomenon Taylor Swift. Each of the 13 stops on this trail showcases a chapter in the songbook of Taylor’s career and spotlights a particular era of her music and prolific songwriting.
