The uniqueness of Prophetik begins with the artist himself. Garner’s vivacity and his commitment to creating distinctive, sustainable, plant based fashion is a reflection of his environment.
Born in the Civil War town of Franklin, Tennessee, and raised on a horse farm, Garner grew with a connectedness to nature and a peaceful understanding of the world. Currently residing part-time in North Cotswolds, he is directing a documentary on the toxins in fashion and the health implications called ‘Let them be naked’ with the Robert Redford Foundation and Suzy Amis Cameron. Journey with Jeff as he uncovers the fashion industry’s dirty secrets and explores innovative sustainable solutions for conscious, non-toxic clothing, and radical consumer transparency. www.redfordcenter.org.

The Aesthetes like Garner reject contemporary dress and look to the past where modern fashion uses unnatural colors, materials and silhouettes that emerged after the industrial revolution that offend taste and reason in the sameness and poor quality of mass produced Toxic goods. Art for Art’s sake not commerce.
The new collection is based on the idea it is best to be naked than clothed in harmful synthetics. A call back to nature..stripping back down to the nude… plant fabrics & plant dyes from his farm. Infused with the Celtic & Picts spirit in the Cotswolds with the Native American Heritage of TN Mr. Garner presents.
