      Linda J. Wachner hereby amends and supplements her Statement on
Schedule 13D, initially filed on February 20, 1996 (the "Schedule 13D"),
with respect to the common stock, par value $.001 per share (the "Shares"),
of Authentic Fitness Corporation, a Delaware corporation (the "Company" or
"Authentic Fitness"). Unless otherwise indicated herein, each capitalized
term used and not defined herein shall have the meaning assigned to such
term in the Schedule 13D.
  
Item 5.  Interest in Securities of the Issuer. 
  
      The response set forth in Item 5 of the Schedule 13D is hereby
amended and supplemented by the following information:
  
      (a)  Mrs. Wachner beneficially owns an aggregate of 3,836,462 Shares
which represents approximately 16% of the 24,021,999 Shares issued and
outstanding as of the date hereof, assuming the exercise of all Company
employee stock options held by Mrs. Wachner. The 3,836,462 Shares
beneficially owned by Mrs. Wachner include 1,741,900 Shares purchasable
upon the exercise of Company employee stock options held by Mrs. Wachner
and 750,000 Shares held by the Trust. Mrs. Wachner is a Trustee of the
Trust and Russell E. Brooks is the Special Trustee of the Trust. Except as
set forth in this Item 5(a), Mrs. Wachner does not beneficially own any
Shares. Mrs. Wachner disclaims that she is a member of a group with any
other holder or holders of Shares.
  
      (b) Mrs. Wachner has the sole power to vote and dispose of all Shares
beneficially owned by her except for the 750,000 Shares held by the Trust.
As a Trustee of the Trust, Mrs. Wachner has the sole power to vote the
750,000 Shares held by the Trust. Any decision with respect to the
disposition of the 750,000 Shares can only be made by the Special Trustee.
  
      (c) On March 9, 1998, Mrs. Wachner engaged in the following
transactions with respect to the Shares:
  
          (i) 100,000 employee stock options were exercised at a price of 
$8.00 per Share or an aggregate exercise price of $800,000. Of the 100,000

a fair market value on March 9, 1998 of $20.875 per Share or an aggregate 
fair market value of $800,000, were withheld to pay the aggregate exercise
price, and (B) 27,754 Shares were withheld to cover related withholding
taxes. Accordingly, as a result of the exercise of these options, the net

the receipt of dividends from, or the proceeds from the sale of, all Shares
that she beneficially owns other than the 750,000 Shares held by the Trust.
  
      (e) Inapplicable.

  
                                 SIGNATURES 
  
      After reasonable inquiry and to the best of my knowledge and belief, I
 certify that the information set forth in this statement is true, complete
