Jake Rudh and Jessa Alt cover City Pages, "Mad Men" style

The cover and spread for this year City Pages' Best of the Twin Cities issue is Mad Men-fabulous. This year's cover models, mid-century modern fans DJ Jake Rudh and Jessa Alt, look simply stunning in their late '50s/early '60s styling in this spread shot by Emily Utne. Though I have to say, City Pages sort of stole l'etoile's idea to use the two as models in mid-century styling - we did the same thing for our Jubilee holiday party promo images last year. But ain't they adorable?








City Pages also has a fun little outtake slideshow of the duo. Here are a few:
