ITEM 4.  CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

On July 22, 2002 the Board of Directors of Danskin, Inc. (the "Company"), upon
the recommendation of its Audit Committee, dismissed Arthur Andersen LLP
("Andersen") as its independent public accountants and engaged Deloitte & Touche
LLP ("Deloitte & Touche") to serve as its independent public accountants.

Andersen had served as the Company's independent public accountants since 1997.

None of Andersen's reports on the Company's consolidated financial statements
for the fiscal years ended December 29, 2001 and December 30, 2000 contained an
adverse opinion or disclaimer of opinion, nor was any such report qualified or
modified as to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

During the fiscal years ended December 29, 2001 and December 30, 2000 and
through the date hereof, there were no disagreements between the Company and
Andersen on any matter of accounting principles or practices, financial
statement disclosure, or auditing scope or procedure which, if not resolved to
Andersen's satisfaction, would have caused them to make reference to the subject
matter in connection with their report on the Company's consolidated financial
statements for such years; and there were no reportable events as defined in
Item 304(a)(1)(v) of Regulation S-K.

During the fiscal years ended December 29, 2001, December 30, 2000, and December
25, 1999 and through the date hereof, the Company did not consult Deloitte &
Touche with respect to either (i) the application of accounting principles to a
specified transaction, either completed or proposed, or the type of audit
opinion that might be rendered on the Company's consolidated financial
statements, or (ii) any matter that was either the subject of a disagreement,
within the meaning of Item 304(a)(1)(iv) of Regulation S-K, or any "reportable
event," as that term is defined in Item 304(a)(2)(i) and (ii)of Regulation S-K.

We provided Andersen with a copy of this report and requested that Andersen
furnish us with a letter addressed to the Securities and Exchange Commission
stating whether it agrees with the statements made by us in this report, and if
not, stating the respects in which it does not agree. Andersen has indicated to
the Company that Andersen no longer issues such letters.
