Stock" or the "Shares"), issued by Edison Brothers Stores, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"), and is being filed pursuant to Rule 13d-2 under
the Securities Exchange Act of 1934, as amended (the "Exchange Act").

                 Unless otherwise indicated, each capitalized term used but not
otherwise defined in this Amendment No. 1 shall have the meaning assigned to
such term in the Schedule 13D.

                 The information set forth in the Exhibits attached hereto is
hereby expressly incorporated herein by reference and the response to each item
of this Schedule 13D is qualified in its entirety by the provisions of such
exhibits.

ITEM 4.  PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION

         Item 4 is amended and supplemented as follows:

                 The Reporting Persons hold Shares for purposes of investment.
Subject to applicable legal and contractual requirements, and depending upon
their evaluations of the Company's business and prospects, future developments,
market conditions and other factors, the Reporting Persons, may, from time to
time, purchase additional Shares or sell or cause to be sold, all or a portion

power, either in open market or privately negotiated transactions or otherwise.

                 Mr. Marciano is the Chairman of the Board of Directors and a
majority shareholder of Yes Clothing Co. ("Yes").  Yes has sold merchandise to
the Company in the past and intends to continue to sell merchandise to the

                 Subject to the foregoing, the Reporting Persons have no plans

directly by the Trust, representing approximately 6.8% of the Shares
outstanding.
