Kate Garner : photographer

Kate Garner is an English singer and photographer. Garner was one third of the trio of 1980s avant-garde, new wave pop project called Haysi Fantayzee, the other members being Jeremy Healy and Paul Caplin. Their music combined reggae, country and electro with political and sociological lyrics couched as nursery rhymes
Haysi Fantayzee combined their extreme clothes sense – described as combining white Rasta, tribal chieftain and Dickensian styles – with a quirky musical sound comparable to other new wave musical pop acts of the era, such as Bow Wow Wow, Adam and the Ants and Bananarama.[3] They appeared several times on the BBC Television programme Top of The Pops. However, the group quickly disbanded after releasing three hit singles John Wayne Is Big Leggy, Shiny Shiny and Holy Joe, and an album that went gold.
Garner then launched a successful photographic career, working over a period of time with Sinéad O’Connor, creating memorable images of O’Connor including working on her 1987 debut, The Lion and the Cobra. Garner has also photographed many musicians and celebrities. Among them are: Dr. Dre, Leigh Bowery, JT LeRoy, Angelina Jolie,Cate Blanchett, Anne Hathaway, David Bowie, Cameron Diaz, PJ Harvey, John Galliano, Björk, and Kate Moss. Her work has appeared in the American and British versions of Vogue and Harper’s Bazaar. She has also worked for W magazine, Interview, GQ, Vanity Fair, Elle and The Sunday Times. She is a continuing contributor to i-D magazine.
Kate Goes Print is the launch of Kate Garner’s limited edition screen-printed silk cushions. Kate’s cushion designs are digital interpretations of her iconic prints. The cushions are limited to 50 pieces per design.
The Silk Cushion Line is following up her recently designed wallpaper collection, which is archived at the Victoria and Albert Museum in London.
