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.

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.

‘The book itself is every bit as creative as its author. Playful surprises are tucked throughout, including an artist’s palette-shaped die-cut, a miniature journal filled with sketches and musings, and split pages that allow readers to mix and match illustrated outfits. It is the sort of book to pore over, revisit, and leave permanently within arm’s reach.’ – The Glam Pad

‘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. . . .

‘There is an air of romanticism to everything Jenny Walton does. . .

‘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
