90 Day Fiancé fans first met Darcey Silva when she starred on season 1 of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days in 2017. But she wasn't new to fame when she started appearing on the show. Her and her twin sister, Stacey, started their own business years before 90 Day Fiancé existed. They created their own fashion line called House of Eleven in 2010. Since then, the fashion line has become very successful and Darcey and Stacey have become huge celebrities. And now they are even more famous and successful because of the 90 Day Fiancé franchise.

Besides starring on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, the twin sisters have their own show now called Darcey and Stacey. All of the publicity from the shows has made their fashion line more successful than ever. Here is everything we know about House of Eleven and how the famous sisters started it.
6 Their Late Brother Inspired The Company’s Name
Before they were famous twins, Darcey and Stacey had an older brother named Michael, but he passed away when they were in their twenties. They wanted to keep his memory alive by naming their fashion line after him. During an episode of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, Darcey said, “We created House of Eleven in honor of our brother that passed away in 1998 from Ewing's sarcoma, so we're here to kind of, you know, live for our passions as well… Cause he was born May 11 and he passed on July 11, so everything we do is House of Eleven in his name. He's the last Silva, so when we got divorced we took our last name back, Silva.” Although Michael might not be here on Earth anymore, he’s still a part of his sisters’ lives.
5 House Of Eleven Started Out As A High-End Brand In L.A.
Darcey and Stacey first created House of Eleven in October 2010. Their fashion line started out as a store in L.A. and the twins lived there for about eight years to get the business going. Darcey said on 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days, “We were in stores and stuff, we started as a high-end tier brand. Kind of known for our leggings and our joggers. Lot of celebrities wore it, we did a lot of editorials when we were in L.A." Even though Darcey and Stacey live in Connecticut now, their store is still in L.A. and they manage their business remotely. And it’s definitely still a high-end brand—most of their clothes are close to $100 or more.
4 Celebrities Have Worn The Brand's Clothes
The famous twins not only caught people’s attention on the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, they also caught celebrities’ attention with their fashion line. According to Monsters and Critics, “House of Eleven was worn by celebrities including Demi Lovato, Nicki Minaj, Jessica Alba, and Jeannie Mai.” Many of the celebrities have worn their leggings, joggers, and jackets. It makes sense why celebrities would choose to buy their clothes from Darcey and Stacey’s fashion line. Although the clothes are fashionable, they are more catered to people who can afford high-end prices.

3 Their Dad Inspired Their Work Ethic
Darcey and Stacey’s dad, Michael Silva, is one of the main reasons why they have become so successful. Although he is divorced from their mom, Nancy, and was away a lot for work, he has always inspired his daughters with his work ethic. During an interview with YouTuber Lindsay Hoffman, Darcey said, "Our dad has helped us along that way as well and taught us a lot." Darcey and Stacey’s fashion line wouldn’t exist right now if they didn’t work hard as they did. And they have their dad to thank for that.
2 The ‘90 Day Fiancé’ Franchise Helped Make Their Business Even More Successful
Darcey first appeared on the 90 Day Fiancé franchise in 2017 when she was dating her now ex-boyfriend, Jesse Meester, who is from Amsterdam. She has been on the first four seasons of 90 Day Fiancé: Before the 90 Days. Sadly, she never made it to the 90 days because she never got married to anyone from another country. She’s only been married once before and he was American. But one good thing that came out of the show is that her and Stacey’s fashion line got publicity. The sisters wore their brand’s clothes all the time on the show. The publicity helped them gain a lot more customers and their fashion line is doing the best it's ever been.

1 House Of Eleven And The '90 Day Fiancé' Franchise Makes Up Their $6 Million Net Worth
Before Darcey got her spot on the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, her and Stacey made their money from their fashion line. But they have made a lot more since joining the franchise in 2017. On top of their business getting more publicity and customers, they also get pretty big paychecks for the show, which is about $1,000 to $1,500 per episode. “90 Day Fiancé stars were reportedly paid a maximum of $19,500 total per cast member. That's a nice chunk of change if, ya know, being a reality TV star is just your side hustle,” according to Women’s Health. Between the fashion line and the 90 Day Fiancé franchise, Darcey and Stacey have a net worth of at least $6 million and it will probably keep growing as the franchise becomes more popular.
