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 July 28, 1996, and the related condensed
consolidated statements of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six week
periods ended July 28, 1996 and July 30, 1995, and the related condensed
consolidated statements of cash flows for the twenty-six week periods ended
July 28, 1996 and July 30, 1995.  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 28, 1996, 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 12, 1996, 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 28, 1996, is fairly stated, in all material respects, in
relation to the consolidated balance sheet from which it has been derived.

NOTES TO CONDENSED CONSOLIDATED FINANCIAL STATEMENTS

(DOLLARS IN THOUSANDS, EXCEPT PER SHARE DATA)

GENERAL

The accompanying unaudited condensed 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 28, 1996.

The preparation of the financial statements in conformity with generally
accepted accounting principles requires management to make estimates and
assumptions that affect the amounts reported in the financial statements and
accompanying notes.  Actual results could differ from the estimates.

The results of operations for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 28,
1996 and July 30, 1995 are not necessarily indicative of those for a full
fiscal year due, in part, to 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 condensed consolidated
financial statements for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks ended July 30, 1995
to present that information on a basis consistent with the thirteen and
twenty-six weeks ended July 28, 1996.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are summarized as follows:

                                      July 28,      January 28,
                                        1996           1996   

           Raw materials             $ 19,111        $ 14,194
           Work in process             15,555          13,145
           Finished goods             291,007         249,434

                 Total               $325,673        $276,773

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 $13,564 and $12,923 higher
than reported at July 28, 1996 and January 28, 1996, respectively, if the FIFO
method of inventory accounting had been used for the entire apparel business.


                                      -5-

The final 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
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.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Thirteen Weeks Ended July 28, 1996 Compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended
July 30, 1995                                                                 

APPAREL

Net sales of the Company's apparel segment in the second quarter were $223.2
million in 1996 and $255.9 million last year, a decrease of 12.8%.  The
decrease in sales was due principally to the previously announced closing of
factory outlet retail stores and a planned reduction in lower margin private
label business, as well as the prior year's high level of clearance activity
related to the closing of the Company's private label outlet stores.  These
strategic initiatives more than offset sales gains made this year in the
Company's branded product lines.

Gross profit on apparel sales was 31.4% in the second quarter of 1996 compared
to 32.7% in last year's second quarter.  Selling, general and administrative
expenses as a percentage of apparel sales in the second quarter was 29.9% in
1996 and 30.3% in 1995.  

FOOTWEAR

Net sales of the Company's footwear segment were $90.6 million in the second
quarter of 1996 and $93.5 million last year, a decrease of 3.1%.  The decrease
was due principally to the previously announced closing of factory outlet
retail stores.

Gross profit on footwear sales was 38.5% in the second quarter of 1996
compared to 38.3% in last year's second quarter.  Selling, general and
administrative expenses as a percentage of footwear sales in the second
quarter was 29.5% in 1996 and 29.3% in 1995.  

INTEREST EXPENSE

Net interest expense was $5.9 million in the second quarter of 1996 and 1995. 

INCOME TAXES

Income tax was estimated at a rate of 30.2% for the second quarter of 1996
compared to 34.6% in last year's second quarter.  The decrease in the 1996
rate is due principally to a lower proportion of U.S. income taxed at normal
rates versus tax exempted income from operations in Puerto Rico.

CORPORATE EXPENSES

Corporate expenses were $2.6 million in the second quarter of 1996 compared to
$2.9 million in 1995.  


                                      -8-

Twenty-Six Weeks Ended July 28, 1996 Compared to Twenty-Six Weeks Ended
July 30, 1995                                                                 

APPAREL

Net sales of the Company's apparel segment were $423.4 million during the
first six months of 1996, a decrease of 8.1% from the prior year's $460.9
million.  The decrease in sales was due principally to the previously
announced closing of factory outlet retail stores and a planned reduction in
lower margin private label business, as well as the prior year's high level of
clearance activity related to the closing of the Company's private label
outlet stores.  These strategic initiatives more than offset sales gains made
this year in the Company's branded product lines.

Gross profit on apparel sales was 32.4% in the first half of 1996 compared to  
32.7% in last year's first half.  Selling, general and administrative expenses
as a percentage of apparel sales in the first half was 32.1% in 1996 and 31.6%
in 1995.   

FOOTWEAR

Net sales of the Company's footwear segment were $164.0 million during the
first six months of 1996, a decrease of 4.4% from the prior year's $171.5
million.  The decrease was due principally to the previously announced closing
of factory outlet retail stores.

Gross profit on footwear sales was 37.3% in the first half of 1996 compared to 
38.7% in last year's first half.  Selling, general and administrative expenses
as a percentage of footwear sales in the first half was 31.0% in 1996 and
31.8% in 1995.  

INTEREST EXPENSE

Net interest expense was $12.1 million in the first half of 1996 compared with
$10.7 million last year.  The increase is directly related to the timing of
the Gant and Izod acquisition and the funding of the cash portion of the
Company's prior year $27 million restructuring initiatives.

INCOME TAXES

Income tax was estimated at a rate of 30.5% for the first half and year of
1996 compared with last year's rate of 34.8% for the first half and year.  The
decrease in the 1996 rate is due principally to a lower proportion of U.S.
income taxed at normal rates versus tax exempted income from operations in
Puerto Rico.

CORPORATE EXPENSES

Corporate expenses were $5.8 million in the first half of 1996 compared to
$5.3 million in 1995.  The increase is due solely to timing as expenses are
expected to be substantially flat for the year.




                                      -9-

SEASONALITY

The Company's business is seasonal, with higher sales and income during its
third and fourth quarters, which coincide with the Company's two peak retail
selling seasons:  the first running from the start of the back to school and
fall selling seasons beginning in August 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 strength of the third 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.  

Cash used by operations in the first half totalled $8.7 million in 1996 and
$115.9 million last year.  The decrease is principally related to the
reduction in working capital requirements due to the downsizing of the
Company's retail business.

Capital spending was $10.6 million in the first half of 1996 as compared with
$19.5 million last year.  The decrease is in line with the Company's planned
capital spending reduction.

The Company has a credit agreement which includes a revolving credit facility
under which the Company may, at its option, borrow and repay amounts within
certain limits.  The credit agreement also includes a letter of credit
facility.  The total amount available to the Company under each of the
revolving credit and the letter of credit facility is $250 million provided,
however, that the aggregate maximum amount outstanding at any time under both
facilities is $400 million.  The Company believes that its borrowing capacity
under this facility is adequate for its 1996 peak seasonal needs.  At the end
of the current and prior year's second quarter, the Company estimated that $70
million of the outstanding borrowings under this facility were non-current. 
The Company's long-term debt (net of invested cash) as a percentage of total
capital is 45.4% at the end of the current quarter compared with 45.7% at the
end of last year's second quarter.
