    Enter Queenie4ever’s fashionable Kingdom, where the regal inspired creations by young Hollywood fashion designer Tatiana McLane transports her legions of fans on a “Once Upon a Time” magical storybook clothing adventure where sumptuous fabrics and sparkly trims live happily ever after. Tatiana was only 8 years old when she created Queenie4ever, her fashion brand, with her entertainment lawyer mom who moonlighted as a celebrity wardrobe stylist. It was her yearning to design things she envisioned for her mom and dad’s rock star clients whom she was helping to style, but she just could not find them in stores. Growing up the child of not one but two global entertainment attorneys (Venice Wong and Ben McLane) in Hollywood, California, Tatiana’s daily life was filled with rubbing elbows with world famous entertainers, singers, songwriters, artists, screenwriters, movie directors, fashion designers, and costume designers. Surrounded by such visionaries, her appetite for creating her own original designs consisting of clothing and accessories was obviously further whetted by this exposure to the glitz and glam of her home town which included her parent’s chart topping image conscious clients.

    Tatiana developed her very own iconic image as well. Today, she is known for her fairytale princess looks and an affinity to dress up in fairytale princess worthy party clothes and accessories embellished with girly trims such as bows, lace, and sparkly buttons. She describes her fashion style simply as “Princess”. To make dressing up in her signature Princess Style even more fun, she encourages her fans to wear headpieces. She is rarely spotted when she is promoting without some sort of tiara or crown gracing her tresses. Whether it is a custom designed sparkly jewel encrusted tiara or a wreath of feathers and flowers, Tatiana’s headpieces helps her achieve her Princess look. Thanks to a celebrity following, Tatiana found success in designing a wearable line of clothing worthy of a fairytale princess. Tatiana’s clothing designs has been spotted on Hollywood royalty including A-Listers: Jessica Simpson, Hilary Duff, Melissa Joan Hart star of hit TV Series “Sabrina the Teenage Witch” &” Melissa and Joey”, Olympic Ice Skating Champion Sasha Cohen, Ming-Na best known as the voice of Disney Princess Mulan, hit recording divas Missy Elliott and Macy Gray, Daveigh Chase the voice of Disney’s loveable Lilo, Beverly Mitchell star of hit series “7th Heaven”, the popular pink head sparkly jewelry designer Tarina Tarantino who collaborates with iconic brands Barbie, Hello Kitty, and Disney. And, Tatiana also proves her fashion designing versatility in her edgy rock star inspired menswear collection worthy of Hollywood’s most fashion forward prince charming worn by such music idols such as Tyler Connolly the lead singer of Theory of A Deadman, Bryce Soderberg the bass player from LIFEHOUSE, The Backstreet Boys, Howie Dorough, JC Chasez from N’Sync, and recording artist Aaron Carter featured on TV Shows E! “House of Carters” & “Dancing With The Stars”. .. And, the list goes on and on… Tatiana’s princess worthy designs can also be seen on actresses Andrea Bowman (Desperate Housewives) and Evanna Lynch (Harry Potter) in the popular coming of age movie GBF “GAY BEST FRIEND” directed by Darren Stein (Jawbreaker) and screenplay by George Northy (MTV’s “Faking It”). Not only was Tatiana the GBF Wardrobe Stylist Intern, but she also played the quirky yet cute May-Eve, a member of the GSA Club. And, this is where we turn the fairytale page to Tatiana’s other passion. Acting…

    In addition to her flourishing fashion design career, Tatiana is also an accomplished actress and commercial and beauty model. While pursuing her undergraduate degree at UCLA, Tatiana successfully balanced a full course load with a demanding schedule filled with filming several TV and movie projects, commercials, and music videos. Not more than a month after receiving her B.A. in History, she landed her dream jobs! Beginning with episode 3, Tatiana is the key costumer as well as a regular cast member on Disney's web series: "Disney Descendants PopTalk" which debuted on the Disney Descendants YouTube Channel on December 18, 2015!!!!! Simultaneously working as both key costumer and actress in the same project has been a dream come true for an actress whose other passion is fashion!!!!

    At the helm of her Queenie4ever business empire beginning at such a young age, Tatiana represents a positive role model for young people especially girls who dream of pursuing a career in the creative field. Tatiana believes that if this is your passion and you would do it even if you were not being paid because you enjoy doing it so much, then do not let anything or anyone sway you from following your dream. Whether it is a dream to be a recording artist, dancer, painter, writer, fashion designer or actress or all of the above…keep on working on improving your craft, find a way to share your talents with the world through social media and other networking platforms, listen to feedback, learn from your mentors and critics, but mostly listen to your heart.
