DEREGISTRATION OF SECURITIES

     This Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Form S-8 relates to the Registration Statement on Form S-8 (Registration No. 33-45460) (the “Registration Statement”) filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on February 4, 1992 by G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (the “Company”). The Registration Statement registered 600,000 shares of common stock, par value $0.01 per share, of the Company (without giving effect to stock splits and dividends) (the “Shares”), to be offered and sold pursuant the G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. 1989 Stock Option Plan (the “Plan”). The Plan has expired by its terms and all stock options granted thereunder or governed thereby have either been exercised or expired unexercised. In accordance with an undertaking made by the Company in the Registration Statement to remove by means of a post-effective amendment any securities that remain unsold at the termination of the offering, this Post-Effective Amendment is being filed to terminate the effectiveness of the Registration Statement and to remove from registration all securities registered but not sold under the Registration Statement.
