Independent Accountants Review Report


Stockholders and Board of Directors
Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation

We have reviewed the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet of
Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation as of October 29, 1995, and the related
condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the 13 and 39
week periods ended October 29, 1995 and October 30, 1994. These financial
statements are the responsibility of the Company's management.

We conducted our reviews in accordance with standards established by the
American Institute of Certified Public Accountants. A review of interim
financial information consists principally of applying analytical procedures
to financial data, and making inquiries of persons responsible for financial
and accounting matters. It is substantially less in scope than an audit
conducted in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards, which will
be performed for the full year with the objective of expressing an opinion
regarding the financial statements taken as a whole. Accordingly, we do not
express such an opinion.

Based on our reviews, we are not aware of any material modifications that
should be made to the accompanying condensed consolidated financial statements
referred to above for them to be in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.

We have previously audited, in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards, the consolidated balance sheet of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation
as of January 29, 1995, and the related consolidated statements of income,
stockholders' equity, and cash flows for the year then ended (not presented
herein) and in our report dated March 14, 1995, we expressed an unqualified
opinion on those consolidated financial statements. In our opinion, the
information set forth in the accompanying condensed consolidated balance sheet
as of January 29, 1995, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

Notes To Consolidated Financial Statements
Unaudited
(In thousands, except per share amounts)

GENERAL

The accompanying unaudited consolidated financial statements have been
prepared in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles for
interim financial information. Accordingly, they do not contain all
disclosures required by generally accepted accounting principles for complete
financial statements. Reference should be made to the annual financial
statements, including the footnotes thereto, included in the Company's Annual
Report to Stockholders for the year ended January 29, 1995.

The results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October
29, 1995 and October 30, 1994 are not necessarily indicative of those for a
full fiscal year because of seasonal factors. The data contained in these
financial statements are unaudited and are subject to year-end adjustments;
however, in the opinion of management, all known adjustments (which consist
only of normal recurring accruals) have been made to present fairly the
consolidated operating results for the unaudited periods.

Certain reclassifications have been made to the segment information for the
thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 30, 1994 to present that
information on a basis consistent with the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks
ended October 29, 1995.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are summarized as follows:

October 29, January 29,
1995 1995

Raw materials $ 8,988 $ 19,849
Work in process 17,186 17,026
Finished goods 331,038 218,369

Total $357,212 $255,244

Inventories are stated at the lower of cost or market. Cost for the apparel
business is determined principally using the last-in first-out method (LIFO),
except for certain sportswear inventories which are determined using the
first-in first-out method (FIFO). Cost for the footwear business is
determined using FIFO. Inventories would have been $15,960 and $12,700 higher
than reported at October 29, 1995 and January 29, 1995, respectively, if the
FIFO method of inventory accounting had been used for the entire apparel
business.

The determination of cost of sales and inventories under the LIFO method can
only be made at the end of each fiscal year based on inventory cost and
quantities on hand. Interim LIFO determinations are based on management's


-5-
estimates of expected year-end inventory levels and costs.  Such estimates are
subject to revision at the end of each quarter. Since estimates of future
inventory levels and costs are subject to external factors, interim financial
results are subject to year-end LIFO inventory adjustments.

SEGMENT DATA

The Company operates in two industry segments: (i) apparel - the manufacture,
procurement for sale and marketing of a broad range of men's and women's
apparel to wholesale customers as well as through Company-owned retail stores,
and (ii) footwear - the manufacture, procurement for sale and marketing of a
broad range of men's, women's and children's shoes to wholesale customers as
well as through Company-owned retail stores.

Operating income represents net sales less operating expenses. Excluded from
operating results of the segments are interest expense, net, corporate
expenses and income taxes.

described in the accompanying footnote.

ACQUISITION

On February 17, 1995, the Company completed the acquisition of the Apparel
Group of Crystal Brands, Inc. for $114,503 in cash, net of cash acquired, and
subject to certain adjustments. This acquisition was accounted for as a
purchase. The acquired operations are included in the Company's consolidated
financial statements since February 17, 1995.

In connection with the acquisition, the Company acquired assets with a fair
value estimated to be $190,427 (including $121,164 of excess of cost over net
assets acquired) and assumed liabilities estimated to be $75,924. The Company
has not yet determined either the final value of the assets acquired and
liabilities assumed or the allocation of these assets and liabilities within
the Company's consolidated balance sheet. Accordingly, adjustments to the
Company's consolidated balance sheet at October 29, 1995 may be required.

If the acquisition had occurred on the first day of fiscal 1994 instead of on
February 17, 1995, the Company's proforma consolidated results of operations
would have been:

Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended
October 29, October 30,

Net sales $1,086,618 $1,073,021

Net (loss) income $ (3,903) $ 20,388

Net (loss) income per share $ (0.15) $ 0.75


PLANT, STORE CLOSING AND RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES

On September 13, 1995, the Company adopted and began to implement a plan
designed to reduce costs and realign the product distribution mix primarily
within the Company's apparel business. Significant components of the plan
include the closure of three domestic apparel manufacturing facilities before
year-end and the closing of approximately 200 less profitable retail outlet
stores. As a result, the Company has recorded a pre-tax charge of $25,000 in
the third quarter of 1995. Approximately $11,000 of this charge relates to
the write-off of fixed assets located in such factories and retail outlet
stores. The remaining $14,000 relates to termination benefits for
approximately twelve hundred employees impacted by this restructuring. The
Company believes these changes will improve future profitability through lower
operating costs and improved margins. As part of its ongoing expense and cost
reduction initiatives, the Company will continue to evaluate its operating
structure.






-7-
MANAGEMENT'S DISCUSSION AND ANALYSIS OF RESULTS OF OPERATIONS AND FINANCIAL
CONDITION

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Thirteen Weeks Ended October 29, 1995 Compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended
October 30, 1994

APPAREL

Net sales of the Company's apparel segment in the third quarter were $343.6
million in 1995 and $271.5 million last year, an increase of approximately
26.6%. The acquisition of the Apparel Group of Crystal Brands, Inc. (Gant and
Izod) on February 17, 1995, primarily accounted for this increase.

Gross profit on apparel sales was 30.0% in the third quarter of 1995 compared
to 30.4% in last year's third quarter. Increased promotional selling was
mostly offset by higher margins from the newly acquired Izod and Gant
businesses. In addition, the third quarter LIFO charge was $2.0 million in
1995 compared to $1.0 million last year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of apparel sales in
the third quarter were 24.0% in 1995 and 23.1% in 1994. The increased
percentage relates principally to the inability to fully leverage in-store
expenses during this period of retail weakness.

FOOTWEAR

Net sales of the Company's footwear segment were $104.4 million in the third
quarter of 1995 and $107.9 million last year, a decrease of approximately
3.2%.

Gross profit on footwear sales was 34.6% in the third quarter of 1995 compared
to 37.8% in last year's third quarter. The current quarter contained
increased promotional selling, resulting in large part from an exceptionally
weak back to school selling season.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of footwear sales in
the third quarter were 28.2% in 1995 and 25.6% in 1994. The increased
percentage relates principally to the inability to fully leverage in-store
expenses during this extended period of retail weakness.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Net interest expense was $6.6 million in the third quarter of 1995 compared
with $3.4 million last year. This increase resulted from the cash purchase of
the Apparel Group of Crystal Brands, Inc.





-8-
INCOME TAXES

The Company's 1995 estimated tax rate reflects the substantially greater
weight of its tax exempt operations in Puerto Rico due to the depressed level
of overall income, further reduced by the $25 million plant, store closing and
restructuring expense.

CORPORATE EXPENSES

Corporate expenses were $4.8 million in the third quarter of 1995 compared to
$3.3 million in 1994. A general increase in corporate expenses included an
increase in professional fees related to certain brand research and marketing
projects.

Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended October 29, 1995 Compared to Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended
October 30, 1994

APPAREL

Net sales of the Company's apparel segment were $804.6 million during the
first nine months of 1995, an increase of 29.4% from the prior year's $621.8
million. The acquisition of the Apparel Group of Crystal Brands, Inc. on
February 17, 1995, primarily accounted for this increase.

Gross profit on apparel sales was 31.5% in the first nine months of 1995
compared to 31.0% in last year's first nine months. The increased percentage
relates principally to higher margins on products sold under the newly
acquired Izod and Gant businesses. In addition, the current year includes a
LIFO charge of $3.3 million compared with a charge of $3.2 million in the
prior year.

Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of apparel sales in
the first three quarters were 28.4% in 1995 and 27.4% in 1994. The increased
percentage relates principally to the inability to fully leverage in-store
expenses during this extended period of retail weakness.

FOOTWEAR

Net sales of the Company's footwear segment were $275.9 million compared to
the prior year's $280.3 million, a decrease of approximately 1.6%.

Gross profit on footwear sales was 37.2% in the first nine months of 1995
compared to 37.4% last year. The prior year's first half was impacted by
significant clearance markdowns to clear slower moving merchandise from
inventory. The Company began the current year with a much improved inventory
mix, which in turn reduced clearance markdowns in the first half. Offsetting
this positive trend were promotional markdowns in the Company's retail stores
in the third quarter due to an exceptionally weak back to school selling
season.




-9-
Selling, general and administrative expenses as a percent of footwear sales in
the first nine months were 30.5% in 1995 and 28.3% in 1994. The increased
percentage relates principally to the inability to fully leverage in-store
expenses during this extended period of retail weakness.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Net interest expense was $17.3 million in the first nine months of 1995
compared with $10.1 million last year. This increase resulted from the cash
purchase of the Apparel Group of Crystal Brands, Inc.

INCOME TAXES

The Company's 1995 estimated tax rate reflects the substantially greater
weight of its tax exempt operations in Puerto Rico due to the depressed level
of overall income, further reduced by the $25 million plant, store closing and
restructuring expense.

CORPORATE EXPENSES

Corporate expenses were $10.0 million in the first nine months of 1995
compared to $7.6 million in 1994. A general increase in corporate expenses
included an increase in professional fees related to certain brand research
and marketing projects. In addition, the prior year included a credit to the
Company's unfunded supplemental savings plan liability.

SEASONALITY

The Company's business is seasonal, with higher sales and income during its
third and fourth fiscal quarters, which coincide with the Company's two peak
retail selling seasons: the first running from the start of the summer
vacation period in late May and continuing through September; the second being
the Christmas selling season beginning with the weekend following Thanksgiving
and continuing through the week after Christmas.

Also contributing to the relative strength of the third fiscal quarter is the
high volume of fall shipments to wholesale customers which are generally more
profitable than spring shipments. The slower spring selling season at
wholesale combined with retail seasonality makes the first fiscal quarter
particularly weak.

LIQUIDITY AND CAPITAL RESOURCES

The seasonal nature of the Company's business typically requires the use of
cash to fund a build-up in the Company's inventory in the first half of each
fiscal year. During the third and fourth quarters, the Company's higher level
of sales tends to reduce its inventory and generate cash from operations.
While this seasonal pattern has continued in 1995, various factors have caused
a significant use of cash in the first three quarters of 1995.






-10-
Cash used by operations in the first nine months totalled $113.4 million in
1995 compared with $7.8 million last year. Integration costs resulting from
the acquisition of the Apparel Group of Crystal Brands, Inc. and an inventory
build-up for a planned increase in fourth quarter sales, also resulting from
the acquisition, were the primary reasons for the increase. In addition, a
reduced level of earnings, resulting in large part from a $25.0 million pre-
tax charge for plant, store closing and restructuring expenses in the third
quarter of 1995, contributed to this increase.

The Company has a revolving credit agreement under which the Company may, at
its option, borrow and repay amounts (including letters of credit) up to a
maximum of $400 million. The Company believes that its borrowing capacity
under this facility is adequate for the coming year. At the end of the third
quarter, the Company estimated that $70 million of the outstanding cash
borrowings under this facility are non-current. The acquisition of the
Apparel Group of Crystal Brands, Inc. for cash was funded from the Company's
cash reserves and from borrowings under this facility. The resulting increase
in long-term debt has increased the Company's long-term debt (net of invested
cash) as a percentage of total capital to 45.9% at the end of the current
quarter compared with 34.8% at the end of last year's third quarter.

PLANT, STORE CLOSING AND RESTRUCTURING EXPENSES

On September 13, 1995, the Company adopted and began to implement a plan
designed to reduce costs and realign the product distribution mix primarily
within the Company's apparel business. Significant components of the plan
include the closure of three domestic apparel manufacturing facilities before
year-end and the closing of approximately 200 less profitable retail outlet
stores. As a result, the Company has recorded a pre-tax charge of $25 million
in the third quarter of 1995. Approximately $11 million of this charge
relates to the write-off of fixed assets located in such factories and retail
outlet stores. The remaining $14 million relates to termination benefits for
approximately twelve hundred employees impacted by this restructuring. The
Company believes these changes will improve future profitability through lower
operating costs and improved margins. As part of its ongoing expense and cost
reduction initiatives, the Company will continue to evaluate its operating
structure.
