Suburban Deviant
ABOUT THE DESIGNER
Suburban Deviant was founded in 2021 by Canadian artist Danny Welsh after completing their Master of Fine Arts in Interdisciplinary Art, Media, and Design from OCAD University in 2020. As a child, I found myself transforming my clothing and exteriority as a way of affirming myself and actualizing ideas. Embracing a do-it-yourself mentality, I creatively customized my clothing in experimental and exploratory ways. I self-employed my methods of actualization and implemented them as catalysts for creative customization. These self-employed methods have stayed with me throughout my life. I was the child who would draw on their bedroom walls. This is me now.

ANGELS AND DEVIANTS
Suburban Deviant’s collection Angels and Deviants presented at Fashion Art Toronto FW25 challenges conventional aesthetics and social norms within mainstream fashion.
The collection reimagines the spectacle of iconic winged runway shows of the 2010s through a queer, non-normative lens. Suburban Deviant deconstructs traditional symbols of glamour, such as oversized wings, and reconstructs them into transgressive wearable artwork.
By centering the lived experiences of the 2SLGBTQIA+ community and allies, the collection celebrates inclusivity and transformation, demonstrating that fashion can serve as a platform for subversive expression and radical representation.
Blending tongue in cheek theatricality with irony, and irreverence, Suburban Deviant’s collection Angels and Deviants dismantles the aesthetics of mainstream fashion while giving flight to those who were never meant to be grounded!
