Each bookstore will act as a concierge, recommending "the book you should read right now" to FASHION HEADLINE readers. Every Saturday, we will introduce books selected by Shelf (3-7-4 Jingumae, Shibuya-ku, Tokyo), a Harajuku bookstore specializing in foreign books.

■ "Sara Superhero" by Valerie Phillips

Photographer Valerie Phillips' new photo collection is a mini-book that is somewhere between a book and a zine.

Phillips, who has been photographing Alvida Bystrom in recent years, has now photographed LA-born Sara Cummings. Her photos fully capture the charm of Sara, a slightly quirky girl with a boyish appearance.

Sara is secretly popular, with over 170,000 followers on Instagram. She is currently active as a model in Tokyo and appeared in the Takeo Kikuchi 15-16 Autumn/Winter runway show in Shibuya, Tokyo.
