To escape the grasp of the cult, she hitchhiked from London through eastern Europe to India in 1970, where she lived for a year before being located by her parents.
She attended art school at Blackpool; later she moved to London, where she began to both photograph and model for magazines such as The Face and i-D.[citation needed] Garner first came into the public eye as one third of the 1980s avant-garde, new wave pop project Haysi Fantayzee, along with other members Jeremy Healy and Paul Caplin.
Emanating from street arts scenes such as the Blitz Kids that were cropping up in London in the early 1980s, Haysi Fantayzee's music combined reggae, country and electro with political and sociological lyrics couched as nursery rhymes.
Garner has since photographed a wide range of musicians and celebrities, including David Bowie,Twigs, Bjork, Yoko Ono, John Galliano, and Kate Moss.
