                        -------------------------------
                              GENERAL INFORMATION
 
GENERAL
 
     This  Proxy Statement  (first mailed  to stockholders  on or  about May 30,
1995) is furnished to the holders of Common Stock, par value $.01 per share (the
'Common Stock'), of G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (the 'Company') in connection with
the solicitation by the Board of Directors of the Company of proxies for use  at
the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the 'Annual Meeting'), or at any adjournment
thereof,  pursuant to the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders.
The Annual Meeting  will be  held on  Thursday, June  22, 1995,  at 10:00  A.M.,
Eastern  Standard Time,  at the  Company's facilities  at 15  Enterprise Avenue,
Secaucus, New Jersey.
 
     It is  proposed that  at the  Annual Meeting:  (i) nine  directors will  be
elected  and  (ii) the  appointment  of Grant  Thornton  LLP as  the independent
certified public accountants of the Company  for the fiscal year ending  January
31, 1996 will be ratified.
 
     Management  currently is  not aware  of any  other matters  which will come
before the Annual Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the  Annual
Meeting,  the persons  designated as proxies  intend to vote  in accordance with
their best judgment on such matters.
 
     Proxies for use at the Annual Meeting  are being solicited by the Board  of
Directors  of the Company.  Proxies will be solicited  chiefly by mail; however,
certain officers, directors, employees and agents  of the Company, none of  whom
will receive additional compensation therefor, may solicit proxies by telephone,
telegram  or  other personal  contact. The  Company  will bear  the cost  of the
solicitation of the proxies, including postage, printing and handling, and  will
reimburse  the reasonable expenses of brokerage  firms and others for forwarding
material to beneficial owners of shares of Common Stock.
 
REVOCABILITY AND VOTING OF PROXY
 
     A form of proxy for use at the Annual Meeting and a return envelope for the
proxy are enclosed. Unless otherwise indicated  on the form of proxy, shares  of
Common  Stock represented by any proxy in  the enclosed form, assuming the proxy
is properly executed and  received by the Company  prior to the Annual  Meeting,
will  be  voted with  respect  to the  following items  on  the agenda:  (i) the
election of each of the nominees for director as shown on the form of proxy  and
(ii)  the appointment of Grant Thornton  LLP as the independent certified public
accountants of the Company.
 
     Stockholders may revoke the authority granted by their execution of a proxy
at any time  prior to the  effective exercise  of the powers  conferred by  that
proxy,  by  filing  with  the  Secretary of  the  Company  a  written  notice of
revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by voting in person
at the meeting.  Shares of Common  Stock represented by  executed and  unrevoked
proxies  will be  voted in  accordance with  the instructions  specified in such
proxies. If no specifications are given, the proxies
 

intend to vote the shares represented thereby 'for' the election of each of  the
nominees  for director as shown on the  form of proxy and 'for' the ratification
of the appointment  of Grant Thornton  LLP as the  independent certified  public
accountants  of the Company, and  in accordance with their  best judgment on any
other matters which may properly come before the meeting.
 
RECORD DATE AND VOTING RIGHTS
 
     On May 5, 1995,  there were 6,459,381 shares  of Common Stock  outstanding,
each  of which shares  is entitled to  one vote upon  each of the  matters to be
presented at the  Annual Meeting. Only  stockholders of record  at the close  of
business  on May 5,  1995 are entitled  to notice of  and to vote  at the Annual
Meeting or any adjournment thereof. The holders of a majority of the outstanding
shares of Common Stock, present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote, will
constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will
be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum,  but
will  not  be counted  with respect  to  the specific  matter being  voted upon.
'Broker non-votes' are shares held by  brokers or nominees which are present  in
person  or represented by proxy, but which  are not voted on a particular matter
because instructions have not been received from the beneficial owner.
 
     The affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the shares of  Common
Stock  present in  person or represented  by proxy  and entitled to  vote at the
Annual Meeting is required for the  election of directors. The affirmative  vote
of  the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or
represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required  for
the ratification of the appointment of Grant Thornton LLP.

 (1) For  each  named  executive  officer, the  first  option  listed represents
     options amended in connection  with the 1994  Repricing. The vesting  terms
     and  expiration dates were not  amended at the time  of the 1994 Repricing.
     The other options listed  represent grants under  the Company's 1989  Plan,
     except as set forth in note 6.
 
 (2) Based  upon options to purchase 798,825  shares granted to all employees in
     the fiscal year ended January  31, 1995, including 661,650 options  amended
     at the time of the 1994 Repricing.
 
 (3) These  amounts represent assumed rates of  appreciation in the price of the
     Company's Common Stock during the terms  of the options in accordance  with
     rates specified in applicable federal securities regulations. Actual gains,
     if  any, on stock option  exercises will depend on  the future price of the
     Common Stock and overall  market conditions. Although  the market price  of
     the  Company's Common Stock on June 30, 1994 was $3.75, the options granted
     on such date have exercise prices of $5.50 and $6.50 per share. The 5% rate
     of appreciation over the 10 year term  of the granted options of the  $2.00
     and  $3.75  stock prices  on  the respective  dates  of grant  would result
 
                                              (footnotes continued on next page)

(footnotes continued from previous page)
     in stock  prices  of  $3.26  and  $6.11,  respectively.  The  10%  rate  of
     appreciation  over the 10 year term of the granted options of the $2.00 and
     $3.75 stock prices on the respective  dates of grant would result in  stock
     prices  of $5.19 and  $9.73, respectively. There  is no representation that
     the rates of appreciation reflected in this table will be achieved.
 
 (4) The reported  transaction involved  the repricing  of existing  options  to
     purchase  26,250, 52,500 and 100,000 shares of Common Stock pursuant to the

 (5) The  options to purchase 100,000 shares of Common Stock granted on February
     1, 1994, in connection with the execution of a new employment agreement  by

EMPLOYMENT AGREEMENTS
 
     The Company  has an  employment agreement  with Morris  Goldfarb  effective
through  January 31,  1996. The  agreement renews  annually unless  either party
notifies the other  of its  or his intent  not to  renew within 90  days of  the
scheduled  termination date  thereof. The agreement  provides for  a base annual
salary of $650,000, with increases at the discretion of the Board of  Directors.
Mr.  Goldfarb is currently being paid at  the rate of $495,000 per year pursuant
to his  voluntarily  agreeing to  a  reduction  in salary.  The  agreement  also
provides  for a $2,000,000 life insurance policy which names Mr. Goldfarb's wife
as beneficiary and  an annual incentive  bonus equal to  varying percentages  of
pre-tax  income  (as  defined in  the  employment agreement)  if  pre-tax income
exceeds $2,000,000. The percentages vary from 3% of pre-tax income in excess  of
$2,000,000  up to 6% of pre-tax income in excess of $2,000,000 if pre-tax income
exceeds $4,000,000.  Pursuant  to the  agreement,  the Company  will  contribute
$50,000  per year to a supplemental pension trust for Mr. Goldfarb's benefit for
each year in which net after-tax income (as defined in the employment agreement)
exceeds $1,500,000. In addition,  pursuant to the  employment agreement, in  the
event that Morris Goldfarb's employment is
 
                                       12
 

terminated  (i) by the Company without cause  or (ii) by Morris Goldfarb because
of a material breach by the Company of the agreement, in either case at any time
after a 'Change  in Control' (as  defined in the  agreement), then Mr.  Goldfarb
will be entitled to receive from the Company, in general, (a) an amount equal to
2.99  times his base salary and bonus, as well as (b) certain employment-related
benefits for a period of three years from the date of his termination.
 
     The Company has a severance agreement with Aron Goldfarb which provides for
the termination  of  Aron  Goldfarb's employment  with  the  Company,  effective
January  1, 1995,  and for  the payment  for the  two-year period  commencing on
January 1, 1995 (the  'Severance Period') of base  annual payments of  $125,000,
payable  in accordance with the Company's  customary payroll policy. Pursuant to
the agreement, during the Severance Period, the Company will continue to provide
Aron Goldfarb  with medical  insurance and  certain other  enumerated  benefits.
Additionaly,  Mr. Goldfarb acts a  consultant to the Company  and is paid at the
rate of $1,000 per month for services rendered in such capacity.
 
     The Company has an employment agreement with Alan Feller, providing for the
payment to  Mr. Feller  of  a base  annual salary  of  $160,000. Mr.  Feller  is
currently  being  paid at  the rate  of  $180,000 per  year. The  agreement also
provides for the continued payment to Mr.  Feller of his salary for a period  of
one  year (or  until Mr. Feller  gains satisfactory comparable  employment, if a
lesser period),  in  the event  he  is terminated  for  other than  'cause'  (as
specified in the agreement).
 
COMPENSATION OF DIRECTORS
 
     Directors  who  are not  employees or  consultants  of the  Company receive
$5,000 per year, in addition to $500 for each meeting of the Board attended  and
$500   for  each  meeting  of  each   Committee  of  the  Board  attended,  plus
reimbursement of reasonable out-of-pocket  expenses incurred in connection  with
attendance at Board of Directors' meetings.
 
Non-Employee Directors Plan
 
     Pursuant  to  the Non-Employee  Directors  Plan, the  Company automatically
grants options on an annual basis to  members of its Board of Directors who  are
not  also  employees  of,  or  consultants  to,  the  Company  (a  'Non-Employee
Director'). A maximum of 30,000 shares of  Common Stock may be issued under  the
Non-Employee Directors Plan. Each Non-Employee Director is automatically granted
an  option to  purchase 1,000 shares  of the  Company's Common Stock  on the day
after each annual meeting of the Company's stockholders (each, a 'Grant  Date').
All  options are exercisable at a per  share exercise price equal to the closing
sales price  of a  share  of Common  Stock  on the  Grant  Date. The  Plan  will
terminate on June 25, 2001, unless sooner terminated by the Board.
 
     In general, an option granted under the Non-Employee Directors Plan becomes
exercisable in equal increments of 200 shares on each of the first through fifth
anniversaries  of the date the option is  granted, and subject to the foregoing,
may be exercised during the ten-year period from the date the option is granted.
However, a Non-Employee Director who ceases to perform services for the  Company
will  have three months (one year in the  case of termination by reason of death
or total disability) to exercise  his or her options --  but only to the  extent
otherwise exercisable under the vesting schedule.
 
     The  Non-Employee Directors Plan is administered  by the Board of Directors
of the Company.  The Board  of Directors  may amend  the Non-Employee  Directors
Plan,  except that, in general, any amendment which would increase the aggregate
number of shares of Common  Stock as to which options  may be granted under  the
Plan,   materially  increase  the  benefits  under   the  Plan,  or  modify  the
 
                                       13
 

class of  persons eligible  to  receive options  under  the Plan,  requires  the
approval of the Company's stockholders.
 
COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT ON EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION
 
     General.  The Compensation  Committee, consisting  of Thomas  J. Brosig and
Sigmund Weiss, was established in March 1994. Prior to the establishment of  the
Compensation  Committee,  the  Board  of  Directors  administered  the Company's
executive  compensation  programs,  monitored  corporate  performance  and   its
relationship  to  compensation  of  executive  officers,  and  made  appropriate
decisions  concerning   matters  of   executive  compensation.   The   Company's
compensation  policies have evolved  over the years  since the Company's initial
public stock offering in December 1989. At  the time of the public offering  and
periodically  since  then, the  compensation levels  of the  Company's executive
officers were reviewed and compared to  officers of other publicly held  apparel
companies. The Company adopted the 1989 Plan in 1989 and increased the number of
shares  subject to  the 1989  Plan in January  1992 and  June 1994.  The Plan is
administered by the Option Committee, which  is composed of Willem van  Bokhorst
and George J. Winchell.
 
     One   of  the  Company's  strengths  is   a  strong  management  team.  The
compensation program is designed  to enable the Company  to attract, retain  and
reward  capable  employees  who  contribute  to  the  Company's  success. Equity
participation and a strong alignment to stockholders' interests are key elements
of the Company's compensation  philosophy. The Company's executive  compensation
policies  are  intended to  (i)  attract and  retain  the most  highly qualified
managerial and executive talent; (ii)  afford appropriate incentives to  produce
superior  performance; (iii) emphasize sustained performance by aligning rewards
with stockholder interests;  (iv) motivate executives  and employees to  achieve
the Company's annual and long-term business goals; and (v) reward executives for
superior  individual contributions to the  Company. To implement these policies,
the Board designed an executive compensation program consisting, in general,  of
base salary, annual performance-based bonus plan and stock options.
 
     Base Salary. Base salaries reflect individual responsibilities, experience,
leadership  and  contribution  to  the success  of  the  Company.  Annual salary
adjustments have previously been determined by evaluating the performance of the
executive and  any  increased responsibilities  assumed  by the  executive,  the
performance  of the Company and  the competitive marketplace. Salary adjustments
have previously been determined and normally made on an annual basis. During the
fiscal year ended January 31, 1995 ('fiscal 1995'), however, the Company reduced
the salaries of its mid-level and senior executives in connection with a  review
of  operating expenses in light  of the difficult business  climate faced by the
Company. The Company intends  to review salary levels  during the course of  the
current  fiscal year and may consider restoring the salary reductions made based
on the Company's future performance.
 
     Annual  Bonuses  and  Incentive  Compensation  Program.  Historically,  the
Company's  executives, other  than Morris Goldfarb,  were eligible  to receive a
discretionary bonus,  determined by  Mr.  Goldfarb, based  on an  evaluation  of
individual  performance and overall Company earnings.  No such bonuses were paid
with respect to fiscal 1995. The Compensation Committee, after consultation with
the Board of Directors,  has determined that a  bonus plan with specified  goals
and  objectives will better  serve the Company's  needs. Accordingly, commencing
with the current fiscal  year ending January 31,  1996, the Company's  executive
officers,  other than  Morris Goldfarb,  will be  entitled to  receive an annual
bonus under a new  Incentive Compensation Program.  Under this program,  bonuses
for merchandise division
 
                                       14
 

officers  and key personnel  will be based 50%  on targeted division performance
and  50%   on  targeted   overall  Company   performance,  while   bonuses   for
administrative  officers  and key  personnel will  be  based solely  on targeted
overall Company performance. Officers will be  entitled to bonuses of up to  15%
of  base salary if targets are  met and up to 20%  of base salary if targets are
exceeded by at least 25%.  The purpose of this new  program is to more  directly
and  objectively  incentivize  and  reward key  personnel.  Mr.  Goldfarb  has a
performance-based incentive bonus  provision in his  employment agreement.  This
incentive  provision  is intended  to recognize  Mr.  Goldfarb's unique  role in
overall management  and corporate  strategy and  provide incentive  compensation
based on overall performance by the Company.
 
     Stock Options. The Compensation Committee endorses the position that equity
ownership by management is beneficial in aligning management's and stockholders'
interests in the enhancement of stockholder value and, accordingly, endorses the
stock  option plan currently in place. Stock option awards have generally vested
ratably over a five-year period, providing a long-term view and incentives  tied
to  growth  in  stockholder values.  The  Committee strongly  believes  that the
compensation program should  provide employees with  an opportunity to  increase
their  ownership  and  potentially  gain financially  from  Company  stock price
increases. By this approach, the best interests of stockholders, executives  and
employees will be closely aligned.
 
     The  Committee believes  that the  use of  stock options  as the  basis for
long-term incentive compensation meets  the Company's compensation strategy  and
business  needs of the Company by achieving increased value for stockholders and
retaining key employees. The Committee intends  to work closely with the  Option
Committee to achieve these goals.
 
     Repricing  of  Stock Options.  As previously  stated, the  Option Committee
strongly believes in the importance of stock options in providing incentives  to
key  employees. Stock options  are granted to  help retain the  sevices of those
individuals who are in  a position to contribute  to the successful conduct  and
operation  of the  Company and provide  incentives by  increasing their personal
stake in the success of the Company.
 
     As a result of the decline in  the price of the Company's Common Stock,  as
1994  progressed, all of the outstanding stock options held by the key employees
of the Company had exercise prices in  excess of the market value of the  Common
Stock.  Accordingly, these stock  options no longer  provided employees with the
incentives originally expected and desired by the Company. The Option  Committee
believed that these individuals continue to positively contribute to the Company
and  have  served  the Company  well,  particularly  in light  of  the difficult
economic conditions faced by the Company, and that the decline in the  Company's
stock price is not necessarily reflective of the performance of these employees.
In  December 1994,  after careful consideration  and consultation  with the full
Board of  Directors,  the  Option  Committee authorized  the  repricing  of  all
outstanding  options granted under the  1989 Plan to an  exercise price of $2.00
per share, the market price of the Common Stock on December 5, 1994, the date of
the Committee's action. All other terms  and conditions of these repriced  stock
options, including their vesting schedules, remain unchanged.

COMPLIANCE WITH SECTION 16(A) OF THE SECURITIES EXCHANGE ACT OF 1934
 
     To the Company's knowledge, the Company's directors, executive officers and
beneficial  owners of more than ten percent of the Company's Common Stock are in
compliance with the reporting requirements of Section 16(a) under the Securities
Exchange Act  of  1934,  as  amended.  Due  to  certain  miscommunications,  the
Company's  directors and executive officers inadvertently filed their respective
Forms 5, reporting the repricing of all existing stock options granted under the
Company's 1989 Plan and  certain additional grants, one  business day after  the
Forms were due.
 
                                       16
 

                 CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS
 
     In  September 1986, the New York City Industrial Development Agency ('IDA')
issued $1,442,000 of  floating rate  Industrial Development Revenue  Bonds to  a
commercial  bank  for  the purpose  of  acquiring and  renovating  real property
located at  345  West  37th  Street  in New  York  City  (the  '345  Property').
Simultaneously,  the IDA leased the  345 Property for a term  of 15 years to 345
West 37th Corp. ('345 Corp.'),  a company owned and  managed by Morris and  Aron
Goldfarb,  for  sublease to  a subsidiary  of the  Company as  its headquarters.
Monthly rental payments are  due under the  sublease in an  amount equal to  the
aggregate  of all amounts  due under the  bonds (including principal, redemption
premium, if any, and  interest), plus real estate  taxes and building  operating
expenses.  Two  of  the  Company's subsidiaries  and  Morris  and  Aron Goldfarb
(collectively, the  'Guarantors'), have  jointly  and severally  guaranteed  the
payments  and  obligations under  the  lease and  the  payment of  principal and
interest on the bonds.
 
     In April  1988,  345 Corp.  received  a loan  in  the principal  amount  of
$1,153,000  from the  New York Job  Development Authority  (the 'Authority'), to
assist 345 Corp.  in its  renovation of  the 345  Property. The  loan, which  is
financed by long-term bonds issued by the Authority, is for a period of 15 years
and  is repayable in principal installments of $10,689 monthly, plus interest at
a variable rate, not to  exceed 1 1/2% above the  Authority's cost of the  funds
loaned.  At January 31, 1995, the interest rate on and the outstanding principal
amount of the loan were 8.25% and approximately $797,000, respectively. Each  of
the Guarantors has guaranteed the loan.
 
     Each  of  Morris  Goldfarb and  Aron  Goldfarb have  jointly  and severally
guaranted up to $2.5  million of the Company's  bank debt. In consideration  for
these  guarantees,  the Company  granted  to each  of  Morris Goldfarb  and Aron
Goldfarb ten-year options to purchase 25,000 shares of Common Stock at $5.50 per
share and 25,000  shares of Common  Stock at  $6.50 per share.  One-half of  the
options  at each price are currently exercisable  and the balance of the options
have expired by their terms.  Additionally, Morris Goldfarb has pledged  250,000
shares of the Common Stock owned by him as additional security for the Company's
bank debt.
 
                 PROPOSAL NO. 2 -- RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT
                  OF INDEPENDENT CERTIFIED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS
 
     The  stockholders will be asked to ratify the appointment of Grant Thornton
