                         Report of Independent Auditors


Administrative Committee of the Plan
Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation
Associates Investment Plan for Hourly Associates
New York, New York

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plan for
Hourly Associates as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements
of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in its net assets available for
plan benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.


                                                                               1
<PAGE>

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental Schedule of
AIP Master Trust Assets Held for Investment as of December 31, 1995 and
Reportable Transactions for the year then ended, are presented for the purposes
of complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for Reporting
and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974, and
are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The supplemental
schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in our audit of
the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly stated in all
material respects in relation to the basic financial statements taken as a
whole.

                          Notes to Financial Statements

                                December 31, 1995


A. Description of the Plan

The following description of the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (the "Company")
Associates Investment Plan for Hourly Associates (the "Plan") provides only
general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more
complete description of the Plan's provisions.

Plan Amendments

On July 1, 1995, the Plan was amended to include new investment elections and to
dissolve the Stock Index Fund into the remaining funds. The amendment also
increased the participant contribution percentage limit and added a loan
feature.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering hourly paid production and
retail field employees of the Company who have at least one year of service
(1,000 hours in a year) and are age twenty-one or older. The Plan is subject to
the provisions of the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

Contributions

Each year, participants may contribute up to 15% of pretax annual compensation,
as defined by the Plan. The Company contributes 50% of the first 6% of base
compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan.

Participant Accounts

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and
allocations of (a) the Company's contributions and (b) Plan earnings. Forfeited
balances of terminated participants' nonvested accounts are used to reduce
future Company contributions. One hundred percent of the Company contributions
are automatically invested in the common stock of the Company. Participants age
fifty-five or older may direct the Company contribution into any of the Plan's
investment options.


                                                                               5

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)


A. Description of the Plan (continued)

Vesting

Amounts attributable to Company contributions become vested on the participant's
sixty-fifth birthday or if the participant's employment by the Company
terminates by reason of the participant's death or permanent disability or the
participant has completed five years of service with the Company.

Investment Options

Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employee contributions in
5% increments into any of the six investment options. A participant may
contribute a maximum of 25% of employee contributions into the Phillips-Van
Heusen Corporation Common Stock Fund.

     Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Common Stock Fund - Funds are invested by
     the trustee in common shares of the Company. Common shares of the Company
     are purchased by the trustee in the open market.

     Money Market Fund - Funds are invested by the trustee in short-term
     obligations and money market instruments.

     Equity Fund - Funds are invested in shares of a registered investment
     company that invests primarily in common stocks. (Fidelity Growth & Income
     Portfolio)

     Bond Fund - Funds are invested in shares of a registered investment company
     that invests in corporate bonds and U.S. government securities. (Fidelity
     Intermediate Bond Fund)

     Balanced Fund - Funds are invested in shares of a registered investment
     company that invests in common stocks, preferred stocks, and bonds.
     (Fidelity Puritan Fund)

     International Fund - Funds are invested in shares of a registered
     investment company that invests in common stocks and bonds of companies and
     governments outside the United States. (Templeton Foreign Fund)


                                                                               6

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)


A. Description of the Plan (continued)

Participant Loans Receivable

Effective July 1, 1995, participants may borrow from the Plan, with certain
restrictions, using their vested account balance as collateral. The minimum loan
amount is $1,000 and the maximum loan amount is the lesser of (i) $50,000
reduced by the participant's highest outstanding loan balance during the
previous twelve months or (ii) 50% of the vested value of the participant's
account. Interest is fixed for the term of the loan at the prime rate as of the
first business day of the month of application as published in the Wall Street
Journal, plus 1%. Loan repayments are made through payroll deductions which may
be specified for a term of 1 to 5 years or up to 15 years for the purchase of a
primary residence.

Payment of Benefits

Participants entitled to final distributions generally will receive payment in
the form of a lump sum amount equal to the value of their vested account.

Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the
Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination,
participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

B. Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis.

In accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the Department of Labor,
investments are included at market value as determined by quoted market prices
or at fair value as determined by Chase Manhattan Bank for the applicable Chase
investment funds in the accompanying financial statements. Purchases and sales
of securities are reflected on a trade date basis. Substantially all
administrative expenses are paid by the Company.


                                                                               7

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)


B. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

All assets of the Plan are held by the trustee, Chase Manhattan Bank, in the
Company's Associates Investment Plan Master Trust ("AIP Master Trust") and are
segregated from the assets of the Company. The Plan shares in AIP Master Trust
interest and investment income based upon its participants' shares of AIP Master
Trust net assets available for plan benefits.

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.

C. Transactions with Parties-in-Interest

During the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, the AIP Master Trust
purchased 226,108 and 183,321 shares, respectively, of the Company's common
stock and received $298,851 and $229,091, respectively, from the Company as
payment of dividends on its common stock. The AIP Master Trust also sold 443,656
and 66,935 shares of the Company's common stock during the years ended December
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.


                                                                               8

The Internal Revenue Service has ruled that the Plan qualifies under Section
401(a) of the Internal Revenue Code ("IRC") and therefore its related trust is
tax-exempt under Section 501(a) of the IRC. The Plan's most recent determination
letter is dated April 27, 1995. The Administrative Committee of the Plan is not
aware of any course of action or series of events that have occurred that might
adversely affect the qualified status of the Plan.

                         Report of Independent Auditors


Administrative Committee of the Plan
Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation
Associates Investment Plan for Salaried Associates
New York, New York

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plan for
Salaried Associates as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the related statements
of changes in net assets available for plan benefits for the years then ended.
These financial statements are the responsibility of the Plan's management. Our
responsibility is to express an opinion on these financial statements based on
our audits.

We conducted our audits in accordance with generally accepted auditing
standards. Those standards require that we plan and perform the audit to obtain
reasonable assurance about whether the financial statements are free of material
misstatement. An audit includes examining, on a test basis, evidence supporting
the amounts and disclosures in the financial statements. An audit also includes
assessing the accounting principles used and significant estimates made by
management, as well as evaluating the overall financial statement presentation.
We believe that our audits provide a reasonable basis for our opinion.

In our opinion, the financial statements referred to above present fairly, in
all material respects, the net assets available for plan benefits of the Plan as
of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and the changes in its net assets available for
plan benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.


                                                                               1

Our audits were performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental Schedule of
AIP Master Trust Assets Held for Investment as of December 31, 1995 and Schedule
of Transactions or Series of Transactions in Excess of 5% of the Current Value
of AIP Master Trust Assets for the year then ended, are presented for the
purposes of complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations for
Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of
1974, and are not a required part of the basic financial statements. The
supplemental schedules have been subjected to the auditing procedures applied in
our audit of the basic financial statements and, in our opinion, are fairly
stated in all material respects in relation to the basic financial statements
taken as a whole.

                                December 31, 1995


A. Description of the Plan

The following description of the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (the "Company")
Associates Investment Plan for Salaried Associates (the "Plan") provides only
general information. Participants should refer to the Plan document for a more
complete description of the Plan's provisions.

Plan Amendments

On July 1, 1995, the Plan was amended to include new investment elections and to
dissolve the Stock Index Fund into the remaining funds. The amendment also
increased the participant contribution percentage limit and added a loan
feature.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering salaried paid clerical
employees of the Company who have at least one year of service (1,000 hours in a
year) and are age twenty-one or older. The Plan is subject to the provisions of
the Employee Retirement Income Security Act of 1974 ("ERISA").

Contributions

Each year, participants may contribute up to 15% of pretax annual compensation,
as defined by the Plan. The Company contributes 50% of the first 6% of base
compensation that a participant contributes to the Plan.

Participant Accounts

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and
allocations of (a) the Company's contributions and (b) Plan earnings. Forfeited
balances of terminated participants' nonvested accounts are used to reduce
future Company contributions. One hundred percent of the Company contributions
are automatically invested in the common stock of the Company. Participants age
fifty-five or older may direct the Company contribution into any of the Plan's
investment options.


                                                                               5

A. Description of the Plan (continued)

Vesting

Amounts attributable to Company contributions become vested on the participant's
sixty-fifth birthday or if the participant's employment by the Company
terminates by reason of the participant's death or permanent disability or the
participant has completed five years of service with the Company.

Investment Options

Upon enrollment in the Plan, a participant may direct employee contributions in
5% increments into any of the six investment options. A participant may
contribute a maximum of 25% of employee contributions into the Phillips-Van
Heusen Corporation Common Stock Fund.

     Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Common Stock Fund - Funds are invested by
     the trustee in common shares of the Company. Common shares of the Company
     are purchased by the trustee in the open market.

     Money Market Fund - Funds are invested by the trustee in short-term
     obligations and money market instruments.

     Equity Fund - Funds are invested in shares of a registered investment
     company that invests primarily in common stocks. (Fidelity Growth & Income
     Portfolio)

     Bond Fund - Funds are invested in shares of a registered investment company
     that invests in corporate bonds and U.S. government securities. (Fidelity
     Intermediate Bond Fund)

     Balanced Fund - Funds are invested in shares of a registered investment
     company that invests in common stocks, preferred stocks, and bonds.
     (Fidelity Puritan Fund)

     International Fund - Funds are invested in shares of a registered
     investment company that invests in common stocks and bonds of companies and
     governments outside the United States. (Templeton Foreign Fund)


                                                                               6

A. Description of the Plan (continued)

Participant Loans Receivable

Effective July 1, 1995, participants may borrow from the Plan, with certain
restrictions, using their vested account balance as collateral. The minimum loan
amount is $1,000 and the maximum loan amount is the lesser of (i) $50,000
reduced by the participant's highest outstanding loan balance during the
previous twelve months or (ii) 50% of the vested value of the participant's
account. Interest is fixed for the term of the loan at the prime rate as of the
first business day of the month of application as published in the Wall Street
Journal, plus 1%. Loan repayments are made through payroll deductions which may
be specified for a term of 1 to 5 years or up to 15 years for the purchase of a
primary residence.

Payment of Benefits

Participants entitled to final distributions generally will receive payment in
the form of a lump sum amount equal to the value of their vested account.

Plan Termination

Although it has not expressed any intent to do so, the Company has the right
under the Plan to discontinue its contributions at any time and to terminate the
Plan subject to the provisions of ERISA. In the event of Plan termination,
participants will become 100% vested in their accounts.

B. Significant Accounting Policies

The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis.

In accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the Department of Labor,
investments are included at market value as determined by quoted market prices
or at fair value as determined by Chase Manhattan Bank for the applicable Chase
investment funds in the accompanying financial statements. Purchases and sales
of securities are reflected on a trade date basis. Substantially all
administrative expenses are paid by the Company.


                                                                               7

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)


B. Significant Accounting Policies (continued)

All assets of the Plan are held by the trustee, Chase Manhattan Bank, in the
Company's Associates Investment Plan Master Trust ("AIP Master Trust") and are
segregated from the assets of the Company. The Plan shares in AIP Master Trust
interest and investment income based upon its participants' shares of AIP Master
Trust net assets available for plan benefits.

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.

C. Transactions with Parties-in-Interest

During the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, the AIP Master Trust
purchased 226,108 and 183,321 shares, respectively, of the Company's common
stock and received $298,851 and $229,091, respectively, from the Company as
payment of dividends on its common stock. The AIP Master Trust also sold 443,656
and 66,935 shares of the Company's common stock during the years ended December
31, 1995 and 1994, respectively.


                                                                               8
