Style Stars: Kelly Carlson (below) and Maggie Brindley (above).

Spotted at: Azrouël fashion show at Fallon.

The Fallon ad agency's shiny new downtown office space, complete with sweeping central staircase, provided an elegant backdrop for a staging of Yigal Azrouël's spring 2009 collection. The event, which previewed a trunk show at Grethen House, gave the fashionable crowd an excuse to dress up in the middle of the week. These two attendees prove that it's not what you're wearing, but how you put it together. On the high end: Maggie Brindley, manager of GH2 (Grethen House's consignment and less expensive shop in northeast Minneapolis), wore an Azrouël dress with a Rick Owens leather jacket and Robert Clergerie boots. Showing off a more populist price point: Kelly Carlson, a Minneapolis marketing consultant, who made a refreshing fall statement in all white. Her lacy dress is from A.B.S. by Allen Schwartz and her boots are from the Victoria's Secret catalog.
