It was an extravaganza of mile-long fringes hanging off of handbags at the Marc Jacobs Spring 2010 RTW fashion show, another sign that there’s no stopping fringe for this year:

Fringe handbag details

In his interview, Marc Jacobs said that he was tired of seeing black and studs – things that his 80s-inspired fall 2009 RTW collection was very much full of. For his spring collection, Marc Jacobs went the opposite direction, saying that it was time to bring fashion back to “the theater, the ballet, and the opera”.

You can clearly see the direction he’s going in the white kabuki makeup, the hair in top knots, and the ruffle details on the clothes. The added length on the handbag fringes was definitely a big part of the creative thought process because their swishy, dramatic movements couldn’t have been just a coincidence. The super long fringes lent an elegant air to the entire collection and although not a difficult stretch by any means, made the models look as graceful as ballerinas with every step they took.

It’s time to bring out those handbags with extra long fringes again! If you don’t have yours yet, then here are 4 to choose from, priced high to low:

Horse+Nail Altair Suede Bag, $1,350.00

CC SKYE Rich Hippie Tote, $595.00

Linea Pelle Janis Fringe Shoulder Bag, $395.00

Hurley Venue Shoulder Bag, $52.00

Can you guess who is carrying this fringe handbag? (No cheating!)

If you’ve been following our blog, you’d know that is Lindsay Lohan:

You’d also know that this bag is the Janey Chain Fringe Hobo from CC Skye. Paparazzi caught Hollywood’s hottest hot mess out and about with this bag several times late last year, and we wrote about her love for this bag right here on FringeHandbags.com.

It seems that this bag is a favorite among troubled young stars because none other than the head honcho herself, miss Britney Spears, was photographed carrying the exact same bag just in the last week:

Britney was seen shopping at a Beverly Hills antique store last January 7, 2010, toting around the CC Skye Janey Chain Fringe Hobo.

If Lindsay Lohan chose to wear only a loose tank top with the bag, Britney went for full cover-up in a lacy 3/4 sleeve shirt, dark denims, and fur-lined boots despite the sunny weather:

We secretly love following the lives of these hot messes, but we’re openly not following their sense of style in these pictures.

Fringe continued to be huge in 2009. The phenomenal stringy trend was seen on everything including shoes, jackets, shades, and of course, handbags.

Celebrities embraced, propagated, and evolved the fringe. Practically every young Hollywood starlet had a paparazzi shot of them wearing or carrying something fringed, and 2009 saw the JJ Winters brand name become synonymous with fringe handbags.

Read on to find out which were the 5 most popular fringe handbags for 2009 – and who were the celebrities to give the bags their claim to fame.

The Bag: Genevieve Jones Kate Fringe Bag

The Celebrity: Kate Moss

First on this list is Kate Moss and her Kate fringe bag from Genevieve Jones. Only the likes of Kate Moss can take a relatively unknown jewelry/handbag designer and turn that designer into a fashion darling practically overnight. Kate Moss toted this fringe handbag with her everywhere, prompting everyone to ask what is that bag and where they can get it.

The Bag: JJ Winters Fringe Foldover Studded Flap Leather Messenger Bag

The Celebrity: Megan Fox

Megan Fox already had the internet abuzz after the first Transformers movie. So when Transformers: Revenge of The Fallen came out this year, the hype surrounding the franchise’s second installment was in a big part due to Megan Fox. Of course, what she wore in the movie got talked about too, and that included the JJ Winters Fringe Foldover Studded Flap Leather Messenger Bag. The bag was probably not made especially for the movie, but when you got something as big as Transformers that has James Cameron as the director, JJ Winters must’ve made sure that they’ve got a lot of this bag in stock.

The Bag: JJ Winters Miley Bag

The Celebrity: Miley Cyrus

Another celeb with a bag named after her makes this list. JJ Winters christened their oversized suede fringe bag “Miley”, after the biggest star Disney has today. Miley clearly appreciates the gesture and carries her Miley bag everywhere around LA. If we had a bag named after us, we’d carry it around everywhere too.

The Bag: CC Skye Janey Chain Fringe Hobo

The Celebrity: Lindsay Lohan

Here’s everyone’s favorite hot mess: Lindsay Lohan. Although Lindsay gets a lot of bad press, at least something good still comes out of it. She gets photographed nearly every single time she’s out and that means whatever she’s wearing, carrying, driving and even what she’s eating gets advertised for free. Wait – she does advertise them for free, right? Well a girl’s gotta make her money. Here she is with the CC Skye Janey Chain Fringe Hobo which got a lot of publicity all because of Lindsay Lohan.

The Bag: JJ Winters Suede Fringe Bag

The Celebrity: Vanessa Hudgens

The third JJ Winters bag to make this list. Vanessa Hudgens was probably the biggest collector of fringe handbags this year, but this particular one, the JJ Winters Suede Fringe Bag one, was what she was photographed with A LOT.
