‘Part scrapbook, part sketchbook, part sartorial manifesto…A fashion book that feels, refreshingly, like something made by hand.’ – Vogue
Jenny Sais Quoi: Adventures in Vintage & Personal Style is a peek inside the mind and imagination of a modern-day style icon. Jenny Walton - artist, designer, writer, and Vogue vintage shopping columnist - weaves together illustrations, paintings, candid snapshots, collages, and essays to reveal her journey from fashion student to street style darling to global tastemaker.
Known for her impeccable styling of vintage fashion, Jenny approaches personal style with both grace and delight. Here, she shares how embracing her interest in clothing from eras past led to confidence, joy, and self-expression. Readers will discover inspiring stories from Jenny’s life in fashion, along with insightful advice on cultivating one’s own sense of style, shopping vintage, color paletting, curating a wardrobe, and more. Jenny’s distinctive voice shines throughout, offering encouragement, expertise, and a welcome touch of levity.
Reflecting Jenny’s boundless creativity, Jenny Sais Quoi takes the form of a multi-dimensional visual diary, with a gorgeous trompe-l'œil cover design, a ‘mini journal’ insert, and a cleverly-designed split page that allows you to mix and match illustrated tops and bottoms to create outfits.
‘In this vivid visual diary, artist, designer, writer, and Vogue vintage shopping columnist Jenny Walton invites readers into her world of color, nostalgia, and unique aesthetics. . . . Playful design details, like the eye-catching trompe-l’oeil cover and interactive mix-and-match pages, make this collection a celebration of personal style that’s as creative as the author herself.’ – Boston Magazine
‘Exceptionally personal—it’s part scrapbook, part diary, part sketchpad, and part photo-essay. Yet it’s also relatable: Readers will have the distinct thrill, flipping through Jenny’s illustrations and selfies and sketches and reading her personal essays, of seeing themselves in her shoes.' – Domino
‘There is an air of romanticism to everything Jenny Walton does. . . In her newly-published tome, one finds an equally delight-inspiring collection of watercolors and essays that go one step beyond the usual coffee table book content to advise us on how one might go about living like Walton.’ – Vogue
‘The chronicles of Walton's cinematic life and inimitable personal style are heading offline and onto the page.’ – Who What Wear
‘Part scrapbook, part sketchbook, part sartorial manifesto. . . Walton didn’t simply write the book—she illustrated it, photographed it, and pieced it together like a visual diary of her own life … The effect is intimate rather than polished, tactile rather than glossy—a fashion book that feels, refreshingly, like something made by hand.’ – Vogue
‘Her lavishly illustrated book—part visual diary, part artist’s portfolio, part style-coach manual – leads readers to find inspiration, as she does, in the world around them.’ – Bal Harbour Magazine
