Explanatory Note

Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (the “Registrant”) is filing this Post-Effective Amendment No. 1 to Registration Statement on Form S-8 to deregister certain securities previously registered by the Registrant pursuant to its Registration Statement on Form S-8 filed with the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) on September 22, 2003, Registration No. 333-109000 (the “2003 Form S-8”), with respect to shares of the Registrant’s common stock, par value $1.00 per share (the “Common Stock”), thereby registered for issuance, offer or sale pursuant to the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation 2003 Stock Option Plan (the “2003 Plan”).  A total of 5,400,000 shares of Common Stock were registered for issuance, offer or sale under the 2003 Form S-8.

On June 13, 2006, the stockholders of the Registrant approved the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the “2006 Plan”) and, accordingly, 830,821 shares of Common Stock that would otherwise have been available for grant (i.e., not subject to outstanding awards or forfeitures, cancelled, exchanged, surrendered or not distributed) under the 2003 Plan were available for issuance, offer and sale under the 2006 Plan as of June 13, 2006.  In addition, 53,851 shares of Common Stock underlying outstanding grants under the 2003 Plan on June 13, 2006 were forfeited between June 13, 2006 and June 18, 2007.  Therefore, 884,672 shares of Common Stock are hereby deregistered.  The 2003 Form S-8 otherwise continues in effect as to the balance of the shares of Common Stock remaining available for issuance, offer or sale pursuant thereto upon and following the exercise of options previously granted under the 2003 Plan.
