           This Amendment No. 1 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 (the
"Schedule 13D"). This Amendment No. 1 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. 1 is filed to report the acquisition of certain
shares of Common Stock since April 13, 1998. A schedule identifying all stock
market transactions involving shares of Common Stock effected by REDAM since
April 13, 1998 is included as Annex A hereto which is incorporated by reference
herein. On June 12, 1998, REDAM purchased an aggregate of 68,500 shares of
Common Stock from two executive officers of Brylane at a price of $51.00 per
share (the same per share price paid in the April 1998 purchases by REDAM). 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 1.    SECURITY AND ISSUER.

           No material change.

ITEM 2.    IDENTITY AND BACKGROUND.

           No material change except as set forth above.

ITEM 3.    SOURCE AND AMOUNT OF FUNDS OR OTHER CONSIDERATION.

           No material change.

ITEM 4.    PURPOSE OF TRANSACTION.

           No material change except as set forth above.

ITEM 5.    INTEREST IN SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

           No material change except as set forth above.

           As a result of the transactions described above, as of May 12, 1998,
PPR may be deemed to beneficially own 8,232,217 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 the two executive officers of Brylane on June 12, 1998, PPR beneficially owns
approximately 44.55% of the Common Stock.

           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 

                                      -3-

controlling persons other than as disclosed by the Schedule 13D and except as
set forth above or in Annex A hereto.

ITEM 6.    CONTRACTS, ARRANGEMENTS, UNDERTAKINGS OR RELATIONSHIPS
           WITH RESPECT TO SECURITIES OF THE ISSUER.

           No material change except as set forth above.

ITEM 7.    MATERIAL TO BE FILED AS EXHIBITS.

           No additional exhibits are being filed with this
Amendment No. 1.
