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 idiosyncrasy, and the fierceness that comes from the weird,
crazy, cool day-to-day of being a girl. Produced with four unique
covers, this empowering volume will be a treasured collector's item
and serve as an indispensable and inspirational style guide for
young women.

For many women, the bathroom is the most intimate of spaces. It is
the place where we encounter ourselves in the mirror each morning
and every night, getting ready to face the day, or recede from it.
THE BATHROOM CHRONICLES is a beautiful, chic, touching, and deeply
feminine collection of photos and accompanying short stories
(sometimes no more than a sentence or two) by women about their
private spaces and most cherished possessions. Lena Dunham reveals
the corner by the sink where she keeps her favorite pieces of
jewelry, as well as her birth control. Erica Jong snaps her poodles
and insists that they love her powder room and to "fluff up their
hair" in front of the mirrors. Roz Chast reflects on a shelf in the
corner that she purchased from a second-hand store. It's decorated
with birds, because she loves birds, and a tiny emu that was given
to her by a friend when she was in Australia. Like the bathrooms
themselves each of these stories and images is unique--open,
private, minimalistic, messy, and beautiful.
