2B LIFE/ tE|e Thursday, October 5, 2006 Real women declare fall’s look is full of winners Continued from page 1B women aren’t figuring out how to adapt the look for themselves. Nationally, skinny pants—if not skinnyjeans—are ringing up strong sales at the Gap, store officials say, perhaps thanks in part to the comfort ing presence of the late Audrey Hepburn, the star of an ad campaign ubiquitous in many markets. With Audrey wildly dancing and vamping to AC/DC’s “Back in Black” wearing her “Funny Pace” look of skinny black pants and a simple sleek black turtleneck, several women interviewed said the campaign has made them curious about the whole slim- leg thing, if not more willing to try it. “Audrey Hepburn is the ulti mate stjie icon. She set the tone of being sophisticated and chic,” said Gap spokes woman Erica Archambault. (It’s worth nothing that the Gap pants are slim but not clingy and the color black helps, too.) Even if women aren’t embracing the skinniest of pants, they are certainly buy- it^ into slimmed-down looks for the legs, and that is having a domino effect: Things that look good with them also are selling well, including long T- shirts and wide belts, mer chants report. “Matchstick cords are being worn with the Httle lace antique blouses and Edwardian vests,” said J. Crew’s Jama Lyons Mazeau, senior vice president of women’s design. She, too, points out that there is plenty for skinny-leg averse women to choose fiom that isn't so extreme. Black income tops in Queens THE ASSOCIATED PRESS NEW YORK -Queens is the only large coxmty in the nation where the median income of black residents has surpassed that of white resi dents, a newspaper analysis found- The pictme is quite differ ent across the river in Manhattan, where the gap between whites and blacks is wider than in any other large coxmty in the coimtry accord ing to a New York Times analysis of Census data. The report, published Sxmday, examined Census Buieau data fiom all U.S. counties with more than 65,000 residents. In Manhattan, the annual median income of whites was $86,494—greatly outpacing the $28,116 reported by blacks. In Queens, home to about 2 million people, black house holds reported a median income of $51,836—higher than the $50,960 repoited for non-Hispanic whites. Asians in the borough reported a median income of neai'ly $53,000, while Hispanics reported incomes of about $44,000. Some residents pointed to the success of immigrants from the West Indies and elsewhere as one reason for the shift in the borough. The earnings of foreign-bom blacks outpaced the income of blacks bom in the United States. An economist at New York University, Professor Edward Wolff, said the wealthiest whites may have left the dty for the submbs, shifting the income balance. Cliarlotte “Tb me, you can find jeans that are straight and stiU look right, just put away the boot cut,” she said.
