                         RELATING TO THE COMMON STOCK OF
                                 LOEHMANN'S INC.

Item 1. Security and Issuer.

      This Statement on Schedule 13D relates to the Common Stock, $0.01 par
value per share (the "Common Stock"), of Loehmann's, Inc., a Delaware
corporation (the "Company"). The principal executive offices of the Company are
located at 2500 Halsey Street, Bronx, New York, New York 10461.

Item 2. Identity and Background.

      (a) This Statement is being filed by: (i) Boyar Asset Management, Inc.
("BAM"); (ii) Boyar GP Holdings, Ltd. ("GP Holdings"); (iii) N.R.M.B., Inc.
("NRMB"); (iv) Boyar Partners, L.P. ("Boyar Partners"); and (v) Mark A. Boyar.
The foregoing persons are hereinafter sometimes referred to as the "Reporting
Persons." Certain information concerning the directors and executive officers of
the corporate Reporting Persons is set forth on Schedule A attached hereto and
incorporated herein by reference. Any disclosures with respect to persons other
than the Reporting Persons are made on information and belief after making
inquiry to the appropriate party.

      (b) The business address of each of the Reporting Persons is c/o Boyar
Asset Management, Inc., 35 East 21st Street, New York, New York 10010.

      (c) The principal business of BAM, a New York corporation, is that of an
investment adviser managing discretionary accounts owned by numerous third-party
clients, including the Boyar Value Fund, Inc., a registered investment company
organized under Maryland law. NRMB, a New York corporation, is an investment
consulting firm.

            The principal business of Boyar Partners, a Delaware limited
partnership, is serving as a private investment vehicle investing primarily in
common stocks that are traded on stock exchanges and in other established
markets within the United States. The principal business of GP Holdings, a
Delaware corporation, is serving as the sole general partner of Boyar Partners.

            Mr. Boyar serves in the capacities listed on Schedule A with respect
to the corporate and partnership Reporting Persons.

      (d) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the
knowledge of each of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons listed on


                                       -7-
<PAGE>

Schedule A hereto has been convicted in a criminal proceeding (excluding traffic
violations or similar misdemeanors).

      (e) During the last five years, none of the Reporting Persons or, to the
knowledge of each of the Reporting Persons, any of the persons listed on
Schedule B hereto has been a party to a civil proceeding of a judicial or
administrative body of competent jurisdiction and as a result of such proceeding
was or is subject to a judgment, decree or final order enjoining future
violations of, or prohibiting or mandating activities subject to, federal or
state securities laws, or finding any violation with respect to such laws.

      (f) All directors, executive officers and controlling persons of the
Reporting Persons are citizens of the United States, except Nathaniel de
Rothschild is a citizen of France.

Item 3. Source and Amount of Funds or Other Consideration.

      The net investment cost (including commissions, if any) of the shares of
Common Stock purchased by BAM, NRMB, GP Holdings and Boyar Partners at August
27, 1998 was $3,414,015. None of BAM, NRMB or GP Holdings owns directly any
shares of Common Stock.

      The shares of Common Stock beneficial owned by BAM and NRMB were purchased
with the investment capital of the owners of the discretionary accounts advised
by BAM and NRMB, respectively. The shares of Common Stock beneficial owned by
Boyar Partners were purchased from its working capital. The shares of Common
Stock beneficially owned directly by Mr. Boyar were purchased with his
investment capital.

Item 4. Purpose of the Transaction.

      The shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by the Reporting Persons
were acquired for investment purposes.

      Each Reporting Person expects to evaluate on an ongoing basis the
Company's financial condition, business operations and prospects, the market
price of the Common Stock, conditions in the securities markets generally,
general economic and industry conditions and other factors. Accordingly, each
Reporting Person reserves the right to change its plans and intentions at any
time, as it deems appropriate. In particular, each Reporting Person may, subject
to the restrictions contained in the Securities Act of 1933 (the "Securities
Act"), at any time and from time to time, acquire additional shares of Common
Stock or securities convertible or exchangeable for Common Stock in public or
private transactions; dispose of shares of Common Stock or other securities in


                                       -8-
<PAGE>

public or private transactions; and/or enter into privately negotiated
derivative transactions with institutional counterparties to seek to hedge the
market risk of some or all of its positions in the Common Stock.

      Although the purchases of shares of Common Stock were made for investment
purposes, representatives of each Reporting Person may hold discussions with
management or the board of directors of the Company, other shareholders of the
Company and other third parties to seek to maximize value for shareholders. At
some future time, the Reporting Persons may decide that it is desirable to seek
to control or otherwise influence the management and policies of the Company.
However, no Reporting Person has currently made any decision to seek to control
or otherwise influence the management and policies of the Company.

      No Reporting Person and, to the knowledge of each of the Reporting
Persons, none of the persons listed on Schedule A hereto has any plans or
proposals that relate to or would result in any of the actions specified in
clauses (a) through (j) of Item 4 of Schedule 13D, except as set forth in this
Item 4.

voting or investment discretion or both. GP Holdings disclaims beneficial
ownership of the shares of Common Stock held by Boyar Partners.

            As of August 27, 1998, Mr. Boyar beneficially owned directly 14,500
shares of Common Stock of the Company, representing approximately 0.16% of the

Common Stock beneficially owned directly by him and shares such power with the
other Reporting Persons with respect to the shares of Common Stock beneficially
owned by such other Reporting Persons.

      (c) The identity of the Reporting Person, type of transaction, date,
number of shares, and price per share (excluding commission) for all
transactions in the Common Stock by the Reporting Persons within at least the
past 60 days are set forth on Schedule B attached hereto and incorporated by
reference herein. Substantially all the trades by the Reporting Persons were
effected in the over-the-counter market.

      (d) No person is known by any Reporting Person to have the right to
receive or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds
from the sale of, any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by any Reporting
Person, except (i) for clients of BAM and NRMB who may have the right to receive
or the power to direct the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the
sale of, any shares of Common Stock held in BAM and NRMB Managed Accounts,
respectively, (ii) GP Holdings, as general partner, has the power to direct the
affairs of Boyar Partners, including decisions respecting the disposition of the
proceeds from the sale of, any shares of Common Stock beneficially owned by
Boyar Partners, (iii) Mark A. Boyar is the President of BAM and GP Holdings and
Chairman of the Board of NRMB, and in those capacities directs their respective
