ITEM 4.   CHANGES IN REGISTRANT'S CERTIFYING ACCOUNTANT

     (a)  Former Auditors.

          (i) On November 3, 1997, the Registrant, Danskin, Inc. dismissed the
     firm of Deloitte & Touche LLP ("Deloitte") as its independent auditors.

          (ii) No report of the former principal accountant on the financial
     statements of the Registrant for either of the past two years contained an
     adverse opinion or a disclaimer of opinion, or was qualified or modified as
     to uncertainty, audit scope or accounting principles.

          (iii) The decision to change accountants was recommended by management
     and was approved by the board of directors of the Registrant.

          (iv) During the Registrant's two most recent fiscal years, and all
     subsequent interim periods preceding the dismissal, there was no
     disagreement with the former principle accountant on any matter of
     accounting principles or practices, financial statement disclosure, or
     auditing scope or procedure, which disagreement, if not resolved to the
     satisfaction of the former principal accountant, would have caused it to
     make reference to the subject matter of the disagreement in connection with
     its report.

          (v) Deloitte did not advise the Registrant during the Registrant's two
     most recent fiscal years or during any subsequent period preceding the
     dismissal:

              (a) that the internal controls necessary for the Registrant to
     develop reliable financial statements did not exist;

              (b) that information had come to its attention that had let it to
     no longer be able to rely on management's representations, or that had



Page 3

     made it unwilling to be associated with the financial statements prepared
     by management;

          (c) of the need to expand significantly the scope of its audit, or
     that information had come it its attention during the two most recent
     fiscal years or any subsequent interim period that if further investigated
     might (i) materially have impacted the fairness or reliability of either a
     previously issued audit report or the underlying financial statements, or
     the financial statements issued or to be issued covering the fiscal periods
     subsequent to the date of the most recent financial statements covered by
     an audit report or (ii) have caused it to be unwilling to rely on
     management's representations or be associated with the Registrant's
     financial statements; or that due to accountant's dismissal, the accountant
     did not so expand the scope of its audit or conduct such further
     investigation; or

              (d) that information had come to its attention that it had
     concluded materially impacts the fairness or reliability of either: (i) a
     previously issued audit report or the underlying financial statements, or
     (ii) the financial statements issued or to be issued covering the fiscal
     period(s) subsequent to the date of the most recent financial statements
     covered by an audit report.

     (B)  New Auditors.

          (i) On November 3, 1997, Arthur Andersen was engaged as the
     Registrant's new principal accountant to audit the Registrant's financial
     statements.

          (ii) During the two most recent fiscal years or during the interim
     period prior to engaging Arthur Andersen, neither the Registrant nor anyone
     on its behalf consulted Arthur Andersen regarding either: (x) the
     application of accounting principles to a specified transaction, either
     completed or proposed; or (y) the type of audit opinion that might be
     rendered on the Registrant's financial statements.

          (iii) neither was a written report provided to the Registrant nor was
     oral advice provided that Arthur Andersen concluded was an important



Page 4                                         

     factor considered by the Registrant in reaching a decision as to the
     Danskin, accounting, auditing or financial reporting issue; or any matter
     that was the subject of either a disagreement or an event described in
     section A above.
