REAFFIRMS FOURTH QUARTER EARNINGS GUIDANCE

New York, New York – January 10, 2007 - Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (NYSE:PVH) in conjunction with its presentation by Company management today at the Cowen & Co. 5^th Annual Consumer Conference stated that it expects to at least meet the Company’s earnings guidance provided on November 20, 2006 for the fourth quarter of 2006 ending February 4, 2007.  The webcast of the conference can be accessed by logging onto www.pvh.com and going to the “News Release” page under the “Investor Relations” tab.

For the quarter, the Company is estimating  that GAAP earnings per share will be at least $0.43, as previously announced.  This compares to 2005 fourth quarter earnings per share of $0.41, which did not include the impact of expensing stock options.  If stock options were expensed in the fourth quarter 2005, the impact would have been $0.05 per share under the provisions of SFAS 123.  The Company’s estimate for the fourth quarter 2006 includes an increase over the prior year of $25 million in national advertising to support the Calvin Klein, Van Heusen, IZOD and Arrow brands, up from a $20 million increase previously projected.

The Company’s acquisition of substantially all of the assets of Superba, Inc. was completed at the beginning of January and, as noted in its November 20, 2006 press release, is not expected to have a material effect on 2006 results.

Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation is one of the world’s largest apparel and neckwear companies.  It owns and markets the Calvin Klein brand worldwide.  It is the world’s largest shirt company and markets a variety of goods under its own brands, Van Heusen, Calvin Klein, IZOD, Arrow, Bass and G.H. Bass & Co., and its licensed brands, including Geoffrey Beene, Kenneth Cole New York, Kenneth Cole Reaction, unlisted, A Kenneth Cole Production, BCBG Max Azria, BCBG Attitude, MICHAEL Michael Kors, Sean John, Chaps, Donald J. Trump Signature Collection, JOE Joseph Abboud, Tommy Hilfiger, and Perry Ellis.
