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 (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, 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, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in its net assets available for
plan benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Our audits were made 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, 1996 and AIP
Master Trust 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.

Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation
Associates Investment Plan for Salaried Associates
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1996
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 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.

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 stock (Fidelity Growth and 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 stock, preferred stocks and bonds (Fidelity
Puritan Fund).

Associates Investment Plan for Salaried Associates
Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
A. Description of the Plan (continued)
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).
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.

Notes to Financial Statements (continued)
B. Significant Accounting Policies
The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis, except
for payments to participants which the Plan accounts for on the cash basis.
Accordingly, the Plan's statements of net assets available for plan benefits do
not reflect amounts payable to terminated, retired or other participants as a
liability.
In accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the Department of Labor,
investments are included in the accompanying financial statements at market
value as determined by quoted market price or at fair value as determined by
Chase Manhattan Bank for the applicable Chase investment funds. Purchase and
sales of securities are reflected on a trade date basis. Substantially all
administrative expenses are paid by the Company.
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 these estimates.
C. Transactions with Parties-in-Interest
During the years ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the AIP Master Trust
purchased 101,653 and 226,108 shares, respectively, of the Company's common
stock and received $203,852 and $298,851, respectively, from the Company as
payment of dividends on its common stock. The AIP Master Trust also sold 143,919
and 443,656 shares of the Company's common stock during the years ended December
31, 1996 and 1995, respectively

aware of any course of action, amendments subsequent to the most recent
determination letter or series of events that have occurred that might adversely
affect the qualified status of the Plan.
F. Assets of the Plan
Assets of the Plan are included in the assets of the AIP Master Trust held by
The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. The assets of the AIP Master Trust are presented

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 (the "Plan") as of December 31, 1996 and 1995, 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, 1996 and 1995, and the changes in its net assets available for
plan benefits for the years then ended, in conformity with generally accepted
accounting principles.
Our audits were made 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, 1996 and AIP
Master Trust Reportable Transactions for the year then ended are presented for
the purpose 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.

Associates Investment Plan for Hourly Associates
Notes to Financial Statements
December 31, 1996
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 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.

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).

Associates Investment Plan for Hourly Associates
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, except
for payments to participants which the Plan accounts for on the cash basis.
Accordingly, the Plan's statements of net assets available for plan benefits do
not reflect amounts payable to terminated, retired or other participants as a
liability.
In accordance with the Rules and Regulations of the Department of Labor,
investments are included in the accompanying financial statements 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. Purchases and
sales of securities are reflected on a trade date basis. Substantially all
administrative expenses are paid by the Company.

<PAGE>
Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation
Associates Investment Plan for Hourly Associates
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 these estimates.
C. Transactions with Parties-in-Interest
During the year ended December 31, 1996 and 1995, the AIP Master Trust purchased
101,653 and 226,108 shares, respectively, of the Company's common stock and
received $203,852 and $298,851, respectively, from the Company as payment of
dividends on its common stock. The AIP Master Trust also sold 143,919 and
443,656 shares of the Company's common stock during the years ended December 31,
1996 and 1995, respectively.

aware of any course of action, amendments subsequent to the most recent
determination letter or series of events that have occurred that might adversely
affect the qualified status of the Plan.
F. Assets of the Plan
Assets of the Plan are included in the assets of the AIP Master Trust held by
The Chase Manhattan Bank, N.A. The assets of the AIP Master Trust are presented
