She pointed out that he was ‘bashing @kyliejenner for not giving credit to certain designers,’ while passing on working with stars like her, or Lala Kent.
After reading Lala’s story, she wrote that the ‘same thing’ happened to her in an Instagram post on Sunday.
‘[Costello] wouldn’t dress me because I just wasn’t famous enough for him. It’s truly so sad. But then @waltercollection dressed me in this gorgeous design and made me feel so much better!!’ she wrote.
Upon reading Chrisley’s post, Costello commented that she looked ‘beautiful’ but had ‘nothing to say about’ her because they ‘have never met.’

Michael pointed out she never reached out to him directly and commented that ‘not everybody should expect something for free if they are on a reality show.’
‘Had I known you personally and you followed me and reached out things could have been different but we are not friends and do not know each other on that level, there is no reason why you should feel entitled for me to dress you or make something for free for you or Lala,’ Costello noted.
‘It doesn’t matter how famous any one is all of my high profile clients respect me and my work and come to me when they have a vision and budget,’ he added. ‘God bless.’
Chrisley replied: ‘I need nothing for FREE nor have I ever asked anyone to do anything for me for free.’
Where it started: The health news comes just hours after Savannah revealed Michael Costello refused to dress her for an NBC event amid backlash after he threw shade at Kylie Jenner for not promoting smaller brands; she posted this image and wrote that she too was passed on by Michael because she wasn’t ‘famous enough’
The health news comes just one day after Savannah revealed Michael Costello refused to dress her for an NBC event amid backlash after he threw shade at Kylie Jenner for not promoting smaller brands.
‘Being famous has more to do with making your brand Famous because the people you dress are YOUR success and I applaud you for that!’ she said, while noting she spoke with either his ‘sister or cousin.’
Then, Costello responded that he only passes on stars looking for free dresses ‘if our showroom staff are booked on paying clients.’
‘No amount of free dresses given to celebrities for ‘exposure’ can help my staff (who are mostly elderly women) pay rent, car mortgage and more,’ he continued.
Later, he asked her to their exchange to a more private setting, while saying he knows she is ‘not a mean person’ and is just ‘trying to defend’ her ‘friend.’
In response to the 37-year-old Project Runway alum’s claims the cosmetics mogul only promotes big brands and established designers, Lala recalled him telling her she wasn’t a ‘big enough’ celebrity to dress.
‘What a clown. This dude. I literally blew him up to make my custom wedding dress — he would have gotten all the ‘tags & @’s’ he’s talking about. But I never heard back from him… why?’ the Vanderpump Rules star, 30, wrote on an Instagram Story.
She elaborated: ‘Because I’m not ‘big enough.’ So cool out, Costello-you do the same s**t.’
Costello then shared a screenshot of text message between him and Kent’s wedding planner, noting, ‘You wanted us to dress you and we passed. You didn’t want to buy anything we also confirmed an appointment for you and it was a no show! Why are you complaining a whole year later? God bless.’
In response, the reality star said he proved her point, firing back, ‘You passed on me just like Kylie Jenner passes on you. Get over it.’

More drama: ‘What a clown. This dude. I literally blew him up to make my custom wedding dress — he would have gotten all the ‘tags & @’s’ he’s talking about. But I never heard back from him… why?’ the 30-year-old Vanderpump Rules star wrote on her Instagram
Wow: In response, the reality star said he proved her point, firing back, ‘You passed on me just like Kylie Jenner passes on you. Get over it’
The start: Kylie Jenner, 23, came under fire from fashion designer Michael Costello, 37, for tagging well-known designers on Instagram but not tagging her outfits from lesser-known personalities
Earlier this month, Costello jumped into Jenner’s comments after being incensed about her decision to tag Balmain’s creative director, Olivier Rousteing.
‘Thank you my love @olivier_rousteing for the most perfect bday dress,’ Kylie tagged her post, which seemed to have set off Costello.
‘Thank you Oliver [sic] for the perfect bday dress. And thank you to the no name designers who work tirelessly around the clock on custom looks who she won’t tag, mention or @ . . . Unless it’s paid,’ he wrote in the comments.
‘And thank you to the glam team who always gets tagged no matter what. (this post has nothing to do with me as Kylie only wears something from me once a year and I’m lucky if I get a decent pic to post,’ he continued.
‘No shade to any of her team who styles her and no shame to the glam team. Even though we know you can not wait to unfollow me and drag me for filth!’
Then, he slammed the mother-of-one for only promoting well-known designers, who don’t need the publicity.
‘It’s sad that designers work so so so so hard on these opportunities to dress these gorgeous popular women and they only tag the major high end designers like Oliver [sic] but forget about the other ones.’
His accusations: Costello claimed that Kylie mostly tags high-profile brands and their well-known designers on Instagram, ‘unless it’s paid’
Costello claimed that his comment wasn’t in regard to his own brand, ‘but it definitely has a lot to do with the la designers why not tag at least one ? Not all the time but maybe once in a while.’
The comment had amassed at least 2,000 likes, though it appeared to have been hidden at some point.
Some of Kylie’s stans came to her defense and pointed out that she tagged other brands, though they listed well-known labels that seemed to prove Costello’s point.
