Another Girl Another Planet

Book excerpt: Celebrating the unique fashion sensibility of fearless young women and the spirit of girl power. A generation of girls grew up with Valerie Phillips’s work pinned on their bedroom walls. The self-confessed Peter Pan is famous for capturing the essence of female youth—girls who boldly unravel their individual quirks before the camera, with loads of spark and beautifully unpredictable things going on in their heads. In this personally curated volume, Phillips has selected her best work from her limited-edition, self-published books, as well as images from editorials, advertising, and music 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 young women captured uninhibited in their unique universes. These images celebrate the exploration of personal style, the female spirit, the beauty found in idiosyncracy, and the fierceness that comes from the weird, crazy, cool day-to-day of being a girl. This empowering volume is sure to inspire the spirit of dreamy, moody, and unfiltered sense of girl power within readers. It will be a treasured collector's item and serve as indispensable and inspirational style guide for young women.
