                      Independent Auditors 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 30, 1994, and the related
condensed consolidated statements of income and cash flows for the 13 and 39
week periods ended October 30, 1994 and October 31, 1993.  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 30, 1994, 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 17, 1994, 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 30, 1994, 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

(In Thousands)

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 30, 1994.

The results of operations for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October
30, 1994 and October 31, 1993 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 for the thirteen and thirty-nine
weeks ended October 31, 1993 to present that information on a basis consistent
with the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 30, 1994.

INVENTORIES

Inventories are summarized as follows:

                                      October 30,      January 30,
                                          1994            1994   

           Raw materials               $ 16,375        $ 16,710
           Work in process               24,054          13,941
           Finished goods               249,943         239,220

                 Total                 $290,372        $269,871

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). 
Cost for the footwear business is determined using the first-in first-out
method (FIFO).  Inventories would have been $14,691 and $11,500 higher than
reported at October 30, 1994 and January 30, 1994, respectively, if the FIFO
method of inventory accounting had been used for the 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
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.

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

RESULTS OF OPERATIONS

Thirteen Weeks Ended October 30, 1994 Compared to Thirteen Weeks Ended
October 31, 1993                                                              

APPAREL

Net sales of the Company's apparel segment in the third quarter were $271.5
million in 1994 and $253.0 million last year, an increase of approximately
7.3%.  Growth of the Company's retail operations and the expanded offering of
apparel in the Company's Bass stores accounted for this increase.  

Operating income of the apparel segment decreased to $20.1 million in the
third quarter of 1994 from $30.4 million in the third quarter of 1993.  The
7.3% increase in sales was offset by significant costs associated with the
introduction of the Company's new "Wrinkle-Free" dress shirts and reduced
margins from extensive promotional selling in the Company's retail stores.  In
addition, the third quarter LIFO charge was $1.0 million in 1994 compared to
$0.3 million last year.  

FOOTWEAR

Net sales of the Company's footwear segment, conducted through its Bass
division, were $107.9 million in the third quarter of 1994 and $104.4 million
last year, an increase of approximately 3.4%.  Growth of the Company's retail
operations and an increase in sales to traditional wholesale customers
accounted for this increase.   

Operating income of the footwear segment decreased to $13.1 million in the
third quarter of 1994 from $14.2 million in the third quarter of 1993. 
Promotional selling in the Company's retail stores and reduced margins on
sales to traditional wholesale customers accounted for this decrease.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Net interest expense was $3.4 million in the third quarter of 1994 compared
with $4.6 million last year.  This decrease resulted from the Company's
issuance of $100 million of 7.75% Debentures due 2023 in the fourth quarter of
1993 and the use of the net proceeds to redeem higher cost long-term debt.  

INCOME TAXES

Income tax was estimated at rates of 32.5% and 32.8% for the third quarter and
year of 1994 compared with last year's rates of 31.9% and 32.0% for the third
quarter and year, respectively.

CORPORATE EXPENSES

Corporate expenses were $3.4 million in the third quarter of 1994 compared to
$4.0 million in 1993.  A modest increase in Corporate expenses was offset by a
reduction to the Company's unfunded supplemental savings plan liability.  

Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended October 30, 1994 Compared to Thirty-Nine Weeks Ended
October 31, 1993                                                              

APPAREL

Net sales of the Company's apparel segment were $621.8 million during the
first nine months of 1994, an increase of approximately 8.9% from the prior
year's $571.0 million.  Growth of the Company's retail operations and the
expanded offering of apparel in the Company's Bass stores accounted for this
increase.  

Operating income of the apparel segment was $22.4 million in the nine month
period, compared to $36.2 million in the prior year.  The 8.9% increase in
sales was offset by significant costs associated with the introduction of the
Company's new "Wrinkle-Free" dress shirts and reduced margins from extensive
promotional selling in the Company's retail stores.  In addition, the current
year includes a LIFO charge of $3.2 million compared with a charge of $1.8
million in the prior year.  

FOOTWEAR

Net sales of the Company's footwear segment were $280.3 million, an increase
of approximately 2.9% over the prior year's $272.3 million.  Growth of the
Company's retail operations and an increase in sales to traditional wholesale
customers accounted for this increase.    

Operating income of the footwear segment decreased approximately 14.5% to
$25.4 million compared with $29.8 million in the prior year.  Promotional
selling in the Company's retail stores and reduced margins on sales to
traditional wholesale customers accounted for this decrease.

INTEREST EXPENSE

Net interest expense was $10.1 million in the first nine months of 1994
compared with $13.1 million last year.  This decrease resulted from the
Company's issuance of $100 million of 7.75% Debentures due 2023 in the fourth
quarter of 1993 and the use of the net proceeds to redeem higher cost long-
term debt.

INCOME TAXES

Income tax was estimated at a rate of 32.8% for the first three quarters and
year of 1994 compared with last year's rates of 31.7% and 32.0% for the first
three quarters and year, respectively.

CORPORATE EXPENSES

Corporate expenses were $7.9 million in the first three quarters of 1994
compared to $8.8 million in 1993.  A modest increase in Corporate expenses was
offset by a reduction to the Company's unfunded supplemental savings plan
liability.  

SUBSEQUENT EVENTS

Subsequent to October 30, 1994, the Company formalized and adopted a plan to
realign and restructure certain managerial and administrative functions
associated with its retail apparel operations.  The Company estimates that the
cost to execute this plan is approximately $1.5 million, principally relating
to severance benefits.  In the fourth quarter, certain other events have 
occured which will allow the Company to utilize previously established
restructuring reserves to cover these costs.  As part of its ongoing focus
on managing expenses, the Company is evaluating its operating
structure and processes for opportunities to improve efficiency and reduce
costs.

SEASONALITY

The Company's business is seasonal, with higher sales and income during its
third and fourth fiscal quarters.  This reflects primarily the Company's
significantly higher sales and operating margins during 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 strength of the third fiscal quarter is the high
volume of fall shipments to customers of each wholesale division.  Fall
shipments are larger in volume and profitability than first fiscal quarter
spring shipments.  The slower spring selling season at wholesale combined with
retail seasonality makes the first fiscal quarter particularly weak.  As the
Company continues to expand its retail business, these seasonal differences
are expected to become more significant.

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 three quarters totalled $7.8 million in
1994 and $26.8 million last year.  This improvement was achieved as a result
of the Company's focus on inventory management.  Although the Company
anticipates double-digit percentage sales growth in the fourth quarter of
1994, inventories are 5.5% lower at the end of the current quarter compared to
the end of last year's third quarter.  



                                      -9-
<PAGE>
For short-term liquidity, the Company has a revolving credit agreement under
which the Company may, at its option, borrow and repay amounts up to a maximum
of $85 million, except that for the Company's third quarter, during which
period its cash needs peak, the maximum amount available to the Company is
$100 million.  The Company does not presently have any outstanding borrowings
from its revolving credit facility and does not contemplate borrowing from
this facility in the immediate future.    

The Company's ability to generate earnings has enabled it to reduce its net
debt (total debt less invested cash) as a percentage of net capital (net debt
plus stockholders' equity) to 34.9% at the end of the current quarter compared
to 40.9% at the end of last year's third quarter.
