Stella Valle designers, sisters Ashley Dellavalle Jung and Paige Dellavalle Walker, knew their experience as West Point cadets and U.S. Army Officers didn't make them the most obvious choices as chic arbiters of style. While they donned the drab, olive, camouflage fatigues that came with military life, their vision for life after the military remained lucid.

Founded in 2009, Stella Valle reflects the designers' pursuit to live out their lifelong aspirations in fashion and design despite their unique past. Capitalizing on their military background, they fused their business and engineering degrees with their innate sense of design -- And with the desire to create a brand that inspired and empowered women to be their authentic self and follow their lives’ goals and dreams came Stella Valle.

Stella Valle is a contemporary jewelry line that pairs masculine and feminine characteristics, just like the designers. The strong lines and geometric metalwork represent their strength and military past. These masculine design elements are balanced by feminine details to portrait their inherent femininity and love for fashion.

In May 2013, Paige and Ashley were featured on the ABC’s hit TV show Shark Tank. During the show, Stella Valle secured an investment and became partners with Mark Cuban and Lori Greiner. The support from Mark and Lori has helped propel the Stella Valle brand. Since, the sisters launched an affordable line called Women Warriors by Stella Valle. The line includes timeless and casual pieces all designed and named with inspirational words and phrases for Women Warriors- strong, confident, driven women that embrace their authentic self and strive to achieve their lives’ goals and dreams. Fittingly, the Women Warriors motto is: Be One.

Both Stella Valle and Women Warriors by Stella Valle have commanded cult followings in their respective markets. Stella Valle has been featured in top editorials such as Harper’s Bazaar, InStyle, Elle, People Style Watch, Cosmopolitan, and many more. The Stella Valle sisters’ unique background has also landed them features on The View, Entrepreneur Magazine, and Success Magazine, as well as speaking on a panel at the White House. In 2015, Ashley and Paige joined the ranks of America’s best fashion designers when they were inducted into the prestigious fashion trade association, Council of Fashion Designers of America (CFDA). This is undoubtedly one of their proudest accomplishments as designers.

“Our journey from the military to fashion has been a personally incredible and fulfilling experience in so many ways…But ultimately our goal and wish for Stella Valle is to inspire and empower other women to be themselves and find passion, love, purpose and fulfillment in chasing their own dreams!"
