Kai Milla's eponymous clothing line has shut down, and the cash-strapped business has failed to pay vendors for months, sources claim.
Milla, wife of Stevie Wonder, founded the women's contemporary line in 2005 and received acclaim from the fashion press, including a spread in Harper's Bazaar and an appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey Show."
Milla's height of popularity came after First Lady Michelle Obama wore a green silk sleeveless dress by the designer in February 2009, when Wonder was awarded a Gershwin Prize from the Library of Congress and gave a performance at the White House.
Milla's last collection was for spring/summer 2010, and was presented during New York Fashion Week last September at the Museum of Art and Design at Columbus Circle. A source told Page Six the line was discontinued earlier this year.
"The company has left many creditors coming after her to be paid for time, service, and materials," the source said. "Modeling agencies, production crews, design assistants, pattern makers, office and store landlords have all been trying to contact her office in Los Angeles and New York for months for payment."

Moochele Obama is to fashion designers as Barkey Obama is to Democrat candidates. Everyone loved the attention in 08 but now they leave town when AF1 is calling into the landing pattern.
Isn't this just typical!?
Guess she is waiting for Zero to pay her bills.
Or, maybe Michelle did not pay for the clothes that Mrs. Wonder made for her.
She looks like the result if Michael Jackson decided to become a woman rather than white.
So now, this dressmaker gone bust, another victim of the free enterprise system, shunned by those who vote with their dollars, will be branded a capitalist by her client’s husband, and yes, of ocurse, stand in line for the promised, possibly whispered in private, bailout, that she so does not deserve!
Welcome to being an enterprenuer, in the age of Obama!
Guess giving Moochelle the dress didn’t really pay off
Where, oh where, will Michelle find ugly stuff to wear? I know... one of the prizes on “Runway” will be to make an especially avant-garde outfit, or better yet, collection for the First, er, Lady.
She looks like she belongs in one of those ice age exhibits in a Museum of Natural History.
Ok, I didn’t need to see her that big.......LOL!!!
WHY the HELL doesn’t her husband, Stevie Wonder PAY THE LITTLE PEOPLE?????? Liberals...they are ALL THE SAME...DEAD BEATS!
Milla, wife of Stevie Wonder,
“Which one designed Michelle’s wardrobe?”
