Lindsay Lohan loves leather and fur, she has proved that more than once. But with the growing number of people turning vegetarian Lindsay will have to change her habits probably.
It is now Stella McCartney who has begged the actress to stop wearing leather.
The British designer refuses to use animal hides in her designs and wants to persuade the girl to ditch any clothes containing animal skins.
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,’ DailyMail reports.
Stella has already tried to convince her close friends Madonna and Kate Moss to stop wearing fur and leather but her attempts failed.
She [Stella] never uses fur and encourages everyone to opt for a vegetarian lifestyle,” Stella’s spokesman said.
Of course, Stella isn’t the first person to try to persuade Lindsay to wear more animal-friendly clothes.
Last year the 23-year-old had a bag of flour thrown at her by an anti-fur campaigner in France.
Besides, people for the Ethical Treatment of Animals (PETA) contacted Lindsay to ask her to pose in their I’d Rather Go Naked Than Wear Fur campaign.
Well, let’s see if Stella succeeds.
I don’t think Stella should impose her views on Lindsay nor anyone else. Lindsay loves fur and leather and I think she looks fab in it! She should stay looking cool and beautiful. Vegetarians and Vegans are entitled to their views but it makes me uncomfortable when they try to tell other people what to think and do. Everyone’s free to do and wear and eat what they want!
You’re gross Nika.
you have no idea what it must be like for those animals. existing only to die in horrible places. for humans. GENERATIONS of animals that have never known a kind world, or fresh air. because we’re better than them right? we’re humans and we stand upright and we have hands and big brains and we can do whatever we want. and we can just kill kill kill baby animals and club mother seals in front of their cubs and it’s looks SO fucking great. who cares? can we wear human skin and hair too? maybe some nice poor indian children or some ethiopians! they have the BEST shades. (oh but THAT’S horrible for me to even say!)
if you weren’t a coward you would go to meetyourmeat.com, and that’s where the “fab” leather comes from. just wait until you see how they get fur. wearing pain and suffering all over yourself for trend is disgusting. i dare you to go to the site. people don’t because they act indignant and self righteous about people like me, but really i’m just confronting you with a truth you would rather not see, people like me piss off people like you because you people know WE’RE RIGHT! what does it take for people like you to care? to see the atrocities we commit in the name of comfort, fashion, and getting fed?? There are other better healthier ways to do it.
I’ve been to the site, seen the videos… yes, it’s horrible but it won’t keep me from meat. Don’t care for fur but leather feels and smells good.
Why don’t you have the same compassion for people who are literally slaves? You seem to rally against people who eat meat or wear leather, but you seem not to care that at this point in time there are more slaves in history than any other time… Do you have any compassion for humans?
you can have compassion both for animals and humans that are suffering.Don’t try to take away from one important issue like animal cruelty by making it look unimportant compared to human slavery(which is also an important issue).
Amanda, most of us do have compassion for people in those situations, indeed as much or more than for the animals, it’s just not what we’re talking about here.
Nika, Stella is not imposing her views on Lindsay per se, she is asking to not be associated with someone who practices against her beliefs, so instead of saying ‘quit wearing my products AND leather and fur’ it only makes sense to ask her to stop wearing the leather and fur.
Stella’s problem is that she produces a PRODUCT, not a lifestyle. She should learn the difference. She has no right to tell anyone what they can wear with the clothes they buy from her. Maybe Lindsay’s response should be to stop wearing Stella’s clothes. That should make everyone happy.
Of course i have compassion for people. God only knows what some of the less fortunate have to go through. Children being sold as sex slaves all over the world, not to mention just plain ol’ slavery. Rape. Genocide. I help support these causes that rally against these crimes against humanity. I have spent alot of money to help these causes, believe me. Those are the things that any decent human being inherently knows is wrong. This, however, was not the context of the article.
There are NOT enough voices for our animals. Not enough cries for the suffering to stop. I wish more people would take the time to learn the truth about what that these poor creatures go through on a mass scale daily. Like the holocaust except bigger. We treat them as things without feelings. Without intellect. Objects sent by god to serve our every whim. Are we too cowardly to REALLY find out what happens to them and walk in their footsteps? Could you imagine how scary and painful and horrifying it must be for them? And why when you support animal rights are you deemed an anti-humanist? Is it fear? Anger? It’s a defense mechanism. Look, I know meat tastes good, I used to eat it. We are smart a being. There are plenty of fibers at our disposal to where we no longer need animals to keep warm or protect ourselves. I mean some of these animals are beaten and skinned alive. Could you imagine? For fashion? REALLY?!
It’s terrible and whether you admit it or not you know it’s true. Do you have the decency to stop buying into it? Well that all comes down to what kind of person you are. Walk in their footsteps. That’s all I humbly ask.
People are not going to stop eating meat or wearing leather just because some designer asks them to. People want to eat meat. Would you rather the hides of animals slaughtered for food go to waste?
