PHILLIPS, Valerie. Another Girl Another Planet.

(Japan): Du Books, 2016.  First Japanese edition.  Softcover.  25.5cm by 18.1cm.  207 pages.  Presentation of a series of intimate, energetic portraits of teenage girls, each captured in their own worlds. Blending autobiographical, fashion, and documentary styles, Phillips explores themes of identity, freedom, and self-invention through a distinctly female lens. The book’s raw, unpolished aesthetic and close collaboration with her subjects result in a compelling and emotional portrait of girlhood at the fringes — dreamy, defiant, and wholly unfiltered. A very good copy in card covers with dust jacket.
