Celebrity hair stylist Evanie Frausto is taking the natural hair trend to a whole new level. His new Showpony brand, where he serves as creative director, took your favorite celebrities’ hair scraps and transformed them into a 17-look avant-garde runway line for Fall/Winter 2026. 

The collection is a metamorphosis in shape, color, and texture. The hair-embedded looks have strands that grow out long as well as bluntly cut short “hems” in other instances. Hair is always the main event, with only leather accents being used to shape and emphasize silhouettes that almost feel like a horse’s saddle — great foreshadowing for German DJ Horsegiirl’s closing moment.

As a shorter presentation in contrast to other brands presenting during NYFW, there’s clearly a high level of curation in Showpony’s FW26 collection. Not a hair is out of place, even as waves and crimps add an unruly and fur-like texture to the long strands of hair decorating tops, skirts, and even boots. The colorful looks in shades of coral, maroon, and light gray are accomplished thanks to Pravana hair dye.

Though the hair on the ensembles is the central focus, the glam done on the model’s actual heads of hair is also of note — especially because of Crausto’s dedication to the craft. Styling the likes of Lady Gaga and Sabrina Carpenter, every hairstyle provides an effortless flow into the hair used on the look. The makeup — accentuated by horns at first, then a mouth full of what appears to be pink paint — is natural and almost ghost-like, allowing for the model’s natural hair texture to speak for itself.

Frausto writes in the show notes that his debut is a reflection of his time as “a MySpace-era emo kid finding refuge online” becoming “a designer shaped by community and self-discovery.” The start of the show being simple and completely neutral, almost representing natural hair quickly transforms into a quick-changing variety of hair colors with the final looks appearing more mottled and mussed-with — before Horsegiirl takes the stage in her signature snout. The contrast from start to finish shows the journey that Crausto has gone on throughout his adolescence and into his wildly successful hairstyling career — and now fashion career as well.
