Stella McCartney has begged Lindsay Lohan to stop wearing leather

The British designer - who refuses to use animal hides in her designs - is determined to persuade the 23-year-old actress to ditch any clothes containing animal skins.

A source told Britain's Daily Mail newspaper: "Stella is concerned that Lindsay is going overboard with her use of leather.

"Lindsay wears a lot of Stella's designs and she doesn't want to be associated with such a high-profile star who insists on wearing animal products.'
