A vibrant, charming celebration of personal style from one of the fashion world’s brightest stars
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 addition to being an illustrator, designer, and writer, Jenny Walton is known the world over for her always unique and urbane joie de vivre and elegant, playful, and aspirational sense of style. She first made a splash as a street style star and is now highly regarded within the global fashion industry for her expressive individuality and her passion for wearing and collecting vintage. Walton writes the Vintage Shopping column at Vogue Magazine (entitled “From the Archives with Jenny Walton”) and her eponymous substack newsletter, Jenny Sais Quoi (for which her book is named). A graduate of Parsons with a BFA in Fashion Design, she worked in knitwear and as a jewelry designer, while also honing her skills as an illustrator for brands including Prada, Miu Miu, Bottega Veneta, and Gucci.
