The atelier mediums are shaped by the experimental spirit of Wet Lab and lyricism of Haute Gardening. These signature methods combine biofabrication, craftsmanship, performance and spatial design. Garcia creates couture garments, artefacts and conceptual narratives that explore new relationships between living cultures, the body and the environment.
Couture and Bespoke orders;
The creative process of a made-to-measure garment is highly symbiotic. Every commission begins with a consultation to understand your needs, preferences and desires. This conceptual alignment will guide creative and execution decisions within the first proposals. Each sketch will idealise its dynamic with the body and context it is being drawn into.
Based on your request and measurements, the design is refined and personalised for a perfect fit, both mentally and physically upon the first fitting. Construction of the ensemble starts afterwards.
Garcia’s Couture is a laboratory practice. Its craftsmanship and techniques hold a surrealist feel to every garment. From consultation to delivery, a piece typically takes three to nine months to complete.

Wet Lab;
When a garment behaves like skin, as it is grown as one, it invites an attachment to the wellbeing of the design itself. After all, each design is a result of an interspecies fabrication, one of the signature methods of IHG Wet Lab.
Each project backs and extends Garcia’s long term research focused on regenerative methods applied to textile development.
Haute Gardening;
If a textile can be grown, is it radical to keep a textile growing and evolving over time? One of the main questions as a Haute Gardener.
Our design methods follow botany principles and cycles. For the same reason, the notion of One-of-a-kind achieves a new meaning in regards to having organisms hosted in a design artifact.
