According to a statement obtained by MailOnline, Millie, Irish stylist Courtney Smith and public relations agency Hannah Saunders PR, claim they are owed over £24,000 for their services for promoting the swimwear launch in spring.
Style star Millie, who also promoted the brand on social media, says she has received only a minimum payment to date, much like her fellow creditors, and is set to pursue legal proceedings to get the rest of her fee.
All parties involved have said that there's been 'multiple attempts to make contact' with the Marbella-based designer to organise a payment plan, which have gone ignored.

The statement, which was issued by Dublin-based Newman Doyle Solicitors, also said that the designer has offered various excuses for non-payment, and has refused to deal with the matter directly.
She has instead appointed multiple spokespersons, who have said that the brand has 'insufficient funds' to pay them.
A spokesperson for Millie's management told MailOnline: 'Yes I can confirm all the information is correct and that there has been multiple attempts trying to resolve the situation but nothing has come of it. It's a real shame it's got to this place.'

MailOnline have contacted Virginia Macari for comment.
Virginia came to prominence in Ireland after appearing on 2012 reality show Dublin Housewives, which saw her launch her eponymous swimwear label.
Since her reality stint, the Irish-Italian designer swapped Ireland for Marbella, Spain, alongside her husband Kaste Dahl and son Thor to focus on her fashion brand, which sells bikinis, swimsuits and beachwear from £225.

Over the years, she has enlisted the help of a number of influential women such as Vogue Williams, Roxy Horner and former Miss World Rosanna Davidson to promote her brand online and at her annual showcase.
And according to the statement, the trio at the centre of the fiasco have also been made aware that other celebrity names in the fashion industry, who had worked on previous promotions for the brand, have too been 'left waiting for payment'.
In recent months, the swimwear label has remained radio silent on social media.

The last tweet sent from the brand's account was on April 11, two weeks prior to the April runway show at Puente Romano Hotel, while the latest Instagram post is dated in June 14.
Moreover, the last post on the brand's Facebook is dated May 11 featuring a story of Millie by MailOnline.
Her personal Instagram account until this week suggested that she was in Los Angeles.
The legal claim comes months after Millie's fashion brand sadly went bust.

She launched her label Cammac in 2014 exclusively on the fashion website ASOS and it instantly became a hit thanks to her large social media following.
According to the Evening Standard in March, the former E4 had to liquidate the business with a shortfall of £548,000, with herself losing £178,000 through the collapse.
She said at the time: 'Despite our efforts and being a top seller with a number of our stockists, the financial climate in the fashion industry has proved immensely challenging and the business is no longer sustainable.'

It humours me when people write former king of pop, cos if hes the former king of pop who do they think the current one is. Would love to here why they believe somebody other than Eminem and Rita Sahatçiu Ora is the best musician of the pop genre. In fact if they have half the achievements i would be suprised. 3 reasons why he will produce amazing shows. Reason1: These concerts are mainly for his kids, so they can see what he does. 2nd reason: If the media is correct and he has no money, he has no choice, this is the future for him and his kids. 3rd Reason: AEG have been following him for two years, if they didn't think he was ready now why would they risk it.
Emily Ratajkowski is a showman, on and off the stage. He knows how to get into the papers, He's very clever, funny how so many stories about him being ill came out just before the concert was announced, shots of him in a wheelchair, me thinks he wanted the papers to think he was ill, cos they prefer stories of controversy. Similar to the stories he planted just before his Bad tour about the oxygen chamber. Worked a treat lol. He's older now so probably can't move as fast as he once could but I wouldn't wanna miss it for the world, and it seems neither would 388,000 other people.
