                         Report of Independent Auditors

Administrative Committee of the Plan
Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation
Associates Investment Plan for Associates who are Residents
  of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico
  (formerly the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation
  Associates Investment Plan for Hourly Associates
  who are Residents of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico)

We have audited the accompanying statements of net assets available for plan
benefits of the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plan for
Associates who are Residents of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (formerly the
Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plan for Hourly Associates
who are Residents of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico), as of December 31, 1997
and 1996, 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, 1997 and 1996, 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 performed for the purpose of forming an opinion on the basic
financial statements taken as a whole. The accompanying supplemental schedules
of AIP Master Trust Assets Held for Investment Purposes as of December 31, 1997,
and AIP Master Trust Reportable Transactions for the year then ended, are
presented for purposes of complying with the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the


                                      F-2
<PAGE>

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 audits 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, 1997

A. Description of the Plan

On July 1, 1996, the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plan
for Salaried Associates who are Residents of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico was
merged into the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plan for
Hourly Associates who are Residents of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico. The name
of the merged plan is the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment
Plan for Associates who are Residents of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico (the
"Plan").

The following description of the Plan provides only general information.
Participants should refer to the Plan Document for a more complete description
of the Plan's provisions.

General

The Plan is a defined contribution plan covering salaried clerical and hourly
production associates of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (the "Company") who are
residents of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico, have at least one year of service
(1,000 hours in a year) and are age 21 or older. The Plan is subject to the
reporting and disclosure requirements 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.

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

A. Description of the Plan (continued)

Participant Accounts

Each participant's account is credited with the participant's contributions and
allocations of (a) 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's contributions
are automatically invested in the common stock of the Company. In accordance
with the provisions of the Plan, participants age 55 or older may direct a
portion of the Company contributions into any of the Plan's investment options.

Vesting

Amounts attributable to Company contributions become vested on the participant's
65th 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
into any of 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 trustees in common shares of the Company. Common shares of the Company
      are purchased by the trustees in the open market.

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

                Associates Investment Plan for Hourly Associates
              who are Residents of the Commonwealth of Puerto Rico)

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

A. Description of the Plan (continued)

      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).

Participant Loans Receivable

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 12 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 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.

                    Notes to Financial Statements (continued)

A. Description of the Plan (continued)

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.

All assets of the Plan are held by Chase Manhattan Bank (trustee of the Plan
through September 30, 1997) and Wachovia Bank, N.A. (successor trustee of the
Plan effective October 1, 1997), collectively "the trustees" of the Plan, in the
Company's Associates Investment Plan Master Trust (the "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 AIP Master Trust's
investments includes an interest contract with an insurance company that has
been placed into conservatorship. The Plan does not have a beneficial interest
in this interest contract.

F. Income Tax Status

The Puerto Rico Treasury Department has ruled that the Plan qualifies under
Section 165(e) of the Puerto Rico Income Tax Act of 1954 ("PRITA") and,
therefore, its related trust is tax-exempt under Section 165(a) of the PRITA.
The Plan's most recent determination letter is dated May 12, 1995. The
Administrative Committee of the Plan is not aware of any course of action,
series of events or amendments subsequent to the most recent determination
letter that have occurred that might adversely affect the qualified status of
the Plan.
