                  This Amendment No. 3 is filed by Pinault-Printemps-Redoute,
S.A. a societe anonyme organized and existing under the laws of the Republic
of France ("PPR"), and amends the Schedule 13D filed on April 13, 1998 by
PPR, as previously amended (the "Schedule 13D").  This Amendment No. 3
relates to shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share ("Common
Stock"), of Brylane Inc., a Delaware corporation ("Brylane").  Capitalized
terms used herein without definition shall have the meanings ascribed thereto
in the Schedule 13D.

            This Amendment No. 3 is filed to report the acquisition of certain
shares of Common Stock since June 30, 1998. A schedule identifying all stock
market transactions involving shares of Common Stock effected by REDAM since
June 30, 1998 is included as Annex A hereto which is incorporated by reference
herein. The funds used by REDAM to purchase all such shares were obtained by
REDAM as a capital contribution from La Redoute, which borrowed such funds from
PPR, which obtained such funds from a drawdown on an existing line of credit
with Banque Nationale de Paris, Natexis, Union European du Credit Industriel et
Commercial, Credit Commercial de France, Credit du Nord and Credit Mutuel.

ITEM 2.     IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

            No material change except as set forth above.

ITEM 5.     INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF ISSUER.

            No material change except as set forth above.

            As a result of the transactions described above, as of August 14,
1998, PPR may be deemed to beneficially own 8,626,117 shares of Common Stock.
Based upon the 18,408,650 shares of Common Stock reported by the Company to be
outstanding as of June 5, 1998 in the Company's Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q
for the quarterly period ended May 2, 1998 together with the 68,500 shares sold
by two executive officers of Brylane on June 12, 1998, PPR beneficially owns
approximately 46.69% of the Common Stock. In addition, Serge Weinberg, Chairman
and Chief Executive Officer of PPR, purchased 2,000 shares of Common Stock on
June 12, 1998, which shares PPR disclaims beneficial ownership.

            To the best knowledge and belief of PPR, no transactions involving
Common Stock have been effected during the past 60 days by PPR or by its
directors, executive officers or controlling persons other than as disclosed by
the Schedule 13D and except as set forth above or in Annex A hereto.
