About the Authors

Mark Montano is best known as the lead designer on While You Were Out ,

the hit designing show on TLC, which he joined in 2003. It’s one of the most-

recognized and best-loved home redesign shows on television.

Well before While You Were Out , Mark began designing clothing for his

mother at the age of 14. After graduating from Colorado State University

(where he earned a bachelor’s degree in business), Mark moved to New York

City, where he continued his education at the Fashion Institute of Technology,

earning a master’s degree in costume history. An internship at Oscar de la

Renta gave him an appreciation for exquisite fabrics and the inspiration to

begin his own clothing line.

He opened his flagship boutique in New York’s East Village and established

himself in the world of haute couture. As the youngest member ever to be

inducted into the Council of Fashion Designers of America, Mark designed a

signature collection of ready-to-wear and custom couture for more than ten

years, which was shown to great acclaim on the runways of New York’s

Fashion Week.

Mark joined the staff of Cosmo Girl! magazine as a contributing editor in 1999,

where he began a monthly room makeover column called “Cool Room.” In

early 2002, Mark continued inspiring teens with the publication of his first

book, Super Suite, a collection of room makeovers for 15 teenage girls, which

was selected for inclusion in the “Books for the Teen Age 2003 List,” pub-

lished by the New York Public Library.

He also writes a weekly column entitled “Make Your Mark,” syndicated in

more than 70 newspapers by Knight Ridder, in which he answers a wide

range of readers’ decorating questions. In August 2004, Mark began work as

a feature columnist in the New York Post’s home section, where his column

“Mark Your Territory” tackles city-living design problems.

Mark’s book, Dollar Store Décor, was published to great acclaim in 2005, and

he’s currently hard at work on a new TV show, TLC’s 10 Years Younger. He

lives in New York City and Los Angeles.

Carly Sommerstein attended New York University, where she studied English

and American literature. She has worked as a freelance book editor for more

than 13 years. Her writing has appeared in the NY Press, the Utne Reader,

Jane, www.playboy.com , and elsewhere. She also collaborated with Mark

Montano on Super Suite. Carly lives in the New York City area with her hus-

band and two-year-old son.
