" Have fun with fashion! "
Designers Venice Wong and Tatiana McLane's motto.

Who are these girls and how was Queenie4ever created?

Venice and Tatiana are a mother/daughter design team who decided to create the Queenie4ever clothing design company to inspire girls to be creative, follow their dreams, and have positive self-esteem.

Venice has always had a passion for fashion and started developing her unique style at a young age. Early on, she learned to sew and design clothes for her dolls.

Her first work was influenced by her talented mom who was an excellent seamstress and created lots of beautiful clothes for Venice to wear.

Immersing herself in fashion magazines and the Sears and JC Penney catalogs, Venice would cut out the models and write glamorous stories about these characters. The arts were a large part of her upbringing. She studied ballet, modern dance and tall flag twirling, and was the captain of the flag team in high school and a UCLA Flag girl and UCLA Marching Band member (performing at Dodger Stadium, Rose parade, Magic Mountain, Disneyland, and many other venues throughout California and the US). Venice is also a music lover, having learned piano, flute and music history. Living all over the globe in exotic and interesting places such as Jamaica, Florida, California, and Hawaii helped shape her unique take on style.

Venice is also a Los Angeles, based entertainment lawyer. She and her law partner/husband Ben McLane represent numerous famous recording artists, songwriters and producers.

Venice's 14 year old daughter Tatiana McLane is Venice's muse and design partner. As a baby, Tatiana showed a fascination for color and flair. She loved to dress up and have her picture taken. As she grew older, she started to help her mom sew projects and design cute things for them to wear and to decorate their home. Together they scoured vintage shops for things to collect and mix with their modern clothing. Tatiana shares her mom's love of reading and creating characters, passion for fashion, and performing.

She is an aspiring model and actress, and has taken tap, ballet, jazz, acrobatics and ice skating. She has also performed in several musicals including Annie, Grease and Oklahoma.

Known for her great sense of style and color, for years entertainers had been asking Venice for styling tips. In 2002, after noticing that people were always stopping them and asking where they had gotten an article of clothing they were wearing, Tatiana and Venice decided they wanted to start making some cute things for girls. Queenie4ever was born!

To spread the word on their designs, they began to get celebrities interested in the company and started custom making clothing and accessories for stars (including Back street Boy Howie D., Melissa Joan Hart, Tony Kanal and Gwen Stefani of No Doubt, Michelle Branch, Vanessa Marcil, Am radio, Toots and the Maytals, And JC Chasez from N Sync). Queenie4ever also supports and sponsors charities including the Dorough Lupus Foundation, Tuberous Sclerosis Alliance, and the USC Alumni Scholarship Fund.

Queenie4ever is now proud to announce the debut of the Queeniegirl cameo t-shirt collection!
