Another Girl Another Planet is the first comprehensive compilation of Valerie Phillips’ photography. In book shelves beginning September 27, 2016, the book focuses on confident and stylish young women. Thus, Phillips perpetuates her cult status as a leader in documenting the unique fashion sensibility of fearless females.
As a self-confessed Peter Pan, Phillips is famous for capturing the essence of female youth and girl power—boldly and unapologetically celebrating individual quirks before the camera.
In this personally curated volume, Phillips highlights her best work from her previous limited-edition books, alongside images from editorials, advertising, and record albums. Featuring “It Girls” such as Sienna Miller, Daisy Lowe, and Florence Welch, Another Girl Another Planet gives a personal and instinctive view of the girl experience. With honest portraits of uninhibited young women captured in their unique universes, these images explore personal style, the female spirit, the beauty found in idiosyncrasies, and the fierceness that comes from the weird, crazy, cool day-to-day of being a girl.
This empowering volume will be a treasured collector’s item, and serve as an indispensable and inspirational style guide for young women everywhere.
