                         Report of Independent Auditors


Administrative Committee of the Plan
Associates Investment Plan of
Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation
(Crystal Brands Division)
New York, New York

We were engaged to audit the accompanying financial statements and supplemental
schedules of the Associates Investment Plan of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation
(Crystal Brands Division), formerly the Voluntary Investment Plan of Crystal
Brands, Inc., as of December 31, 1995 and 1994, and for the years then ended, as
listed in the table of contents. These financial statements and schedules are
the responsibility of the Plan's management.

As permitted by Section 2520.103-8 of the Department of Labor's Rules and
Regulations for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income
Security Act of 1974, the plan administrator instructed us not to perform, and
we did not perform, any auditing procedures with respect to the investment
information summarized in Note D, which was certified by the State Street Bank
and Trust Company, the trustee of the Plan, except for comparing such
information with the related information included in the financial statements
and supplemental schedules. We have been informed by the plan administrator that
the trustee holds the Plan's investment assets and executes investment
transactions. The plan administrator has obtained a certification from the
trustee as of and for the years ended December 31, 1995 and 1994, that the
information provided to the plan administrator by the trustee is complete and
accurate.

Because of the significance of the information that we did not audit, we are
unable to, and do not, express an opinion on the accompanying financial
statements and schedules taken as a whole. The form and content of the
information included in the financial statements and schedules, other than that
derived from the information certified by the trustee, have been audited by us
in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards and, in our opinion,
are presented in compliance with the Department of Labor's Rules and Regulations
for Reporting and Disclosure under the Employee Retirement Income Security Act
of 1974.

As discussed in Note C to the financial statements, the Plan's investments
include interest contracts with insurance companies that have been placed into
conservatorship. Although rehabilitation plans have been approved by the courts,
the ultimate recoverability of these investments is uncertain, and the resulting
loss, if any, cannot presently be determined.


                                                          /s/ Ernst & Young LLP

See notes to financial statements * Formerly called the Equity Fund. 4 Associates Investment Plan of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (Crystal Brands Division), formerly the Voluntary Investment Plan of Crystal Brands, Inc. Notes to Financial Statements December 31, 1995 A. Description of the Plan The following description of the Associates Investment Plan of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (Crystal Brands Division) (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 February 17, 1995, the net assets of Crystal Brands, Inc. were acquired by the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation. As a result of the acquisition, responsibility for administering the Voluntary Investment Plan of Crystal Brands, Inc. was assumed by the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation. Prior to February 17, 1995, the Plan was known as the Voluntary Investment Plan of Crystal Brands, Inc. Prior to July 1, 1995, the Plan was known as the Voluntary Investment Plan of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (Crystal Brands Division). On July 1, 1995, the Plan changed its name to the Associates Investment Plan of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (Crystal Brands Division). Effective July 1, 1995, the Plan was restructured to mirror the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plan. As a result, the investment options previously offered under the Voluntary Investment Plan of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (Crystal Brands Division) were dissolved, with the exception of the Fixed Income Fund whose remaining balances represent frozen assets. All contribution, payment and loan policies have been amended to mirror the policies of the Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation Associates Investment Plan. 5 Associates Investment Plan of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (Crystal Brands Division), formerly the Voluntary Investment Plan of Crystal Brands, Inc. Notes to Financial Statements (continued) A. Description of the Plan (continued) General The Plan is a defined contribution plan sponsored by Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (the "Company") covering non-union associates of the Company and those of its domestic subsidiaries which have adopted the Plan who are employed by the former Crystal Brands Division of the Company and who have at least one year of service (1,000 hours in a year). 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 and may not thereafter be transferred until the participant has reached the age of fifty-five. 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. 6 Associates Investment Plan of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (Crystal Brands Division), formerly the Voluntary Investment Plan of Crystal Brands, Inc. Notes to Financial Statements (continued) A. Description of the Plan (continued) 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) 7 Associates Investment Plan of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (Crystal Brands Division), formerly the Voluntary Investment Plan of Crystal Brands, Inc. Notes to Financial Statements (continued) A. Description of the Plan (continued) Fixed Income Fund - The Fixed Income Fund, consisting of the Regular Investment and the Tax Deductible Account, are invested in interest contracts. The balance in this fund represents interest contracts with Executive Life Insurance Company and Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company which, as discussed in Note C, have been classified as non-performing at December 31, 1995 and 1994. No new uncommitted investments in interest contracts were made subsequent to June 30, 1991. As of July 1, 1995, future contributions to this fund are prohibited. Upon release of frozen assets, funds will be transferred into the Money Market Fund where participants may elect to withdraw or transfer the funds to other investment options. 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 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. Participants maintaining outstanding loans from the Plan as in effect prior to July 1, 1995 will continue to have their loans governed by the loan provisions of the Plan as in effect at the time of the loan. However, loan repayment deductions may be adjusted to comply with their new payroll frequency effective July 1, 1995. 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. 8 Associates Investment Plan of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (Crystal Brands Division), formerly the Voluntary Investment Plan of Crystal Brands, Inc. 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 In accordance with accounting guidance, the Plan accounts for payments to participants using the cash method. Accordingly, the Plan's statements of net assets available for benefits do not reflect amounts payable to terminated, retired or other participants as a liability. The Plan's financial statements for the year ended December 31, 1994 have been restated for consistency purposes. The accounting records of the Plan are maintained on the accrual basis. The Plan's investments are stated at fair value. The shares of registered investment companies are valued at quoted market prices which represent the net asset values of shares held by the Plan at year-end. Investments in the Money Market Fund and participant loans receivable are stated at cost, which approximates fair value. Interest contracts, except those with Executive Life Insurance Company, are stated at cost plus accumulated interest. As discussed in Note C, Executive Life Insurance Company interest contracts are stated at net realizable value. Purchases and sales of securities are reflected on a trade date basis. Substantially all administrative expenses are paid by the Company. 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. 9 Associates Investment Plan of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (Crystal Brands Division), formerly the Voluntary Investment Plan of Crystal Brands, Inc. Notes to Financial Statements (continued) C. Non-Performing Interest Contracts The investment alternatives of the Plan have included interest contracts with insurance companies. On April 11, 1991, the California Department of Insurance placed Executive Life Insurance Company ("ELIC") into conservatorship and suspended all payments on interest contracts issued by ELIC. Effective March 31, 1991, allocation of interest on the Plan's ELIC interest contracts to participant accounts was suspended, and on May 1, 1991, accrual of interest on the Plan's ELIC interest contracts was suspended. On August 13, 1993, the Los Angeles Superior Court approved a plan of rehabilitation for ELIC that became effective on September 3, 1993. Immediately prior to the effective date of the rehabilitation plan, ELIC restructured its obligations, including interest contracts, downward to approximate the value of the underlying assets. Pursuant to the plan, Aurora National Life Assurance Company ("Aurora") assumed the restructured obligations in exchange for which it received most of ELIC's liquid assets. The remaining assets were placed into trusts managed by a board of trustees separate from Aurora. These trusts will be liquidated over a five-year period and the proceeds will be used to fund payments to investors. Investors had two alternatives consisting of participating either (1) fully ("opt-in") or (2) partially ("opt-out") in the rehabilitation plan. After performing an extensive credit review of Aurora and a financial analysis of the two alternatives available under the plan, the Plan Trustee made the decision to opt-out of the rehabilitation plan. The Trustee also considered the uncertainty of how the Plan's investments would be treated in a liquidation of Aurora, the ability of Aurora to fund the substantial maturation of contracts scheduled to occur in 1998, and the limited historical and prospective financial information available about Aurora. The Plan's investment in ELIC interest contracts was $276,523 and $1,232,117 at December 31, 1995 and 1994, respectively. 10 Associates Investment Plan of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (Crystal Brands Division), formerly the Voluntary Investment Plan of Crystal Brands, Inc. Notes to Financial Statements (continued) C. Non-Performing Interest Contracts (continued) On July 16, 1991, on application of the Insurance Commissioner of the State of New Jersey, the Superior Court of New Jersey placed the Mutual Benefit Life Insurance Company ("MBLIC") into rehabilitation. Effective June 30, 1991, allocation of interest on MBLIC interest contracts to participants was suspended, and on January 1, 1992, the interest accrual rate on all MBLIC contracts was reduced to 3% in accordance with the recommendation of the Deputy Rehabilitator of MBLIC. On November 10, 1993, the court approved a plan of rehabilitation for MBLIC. The rehabilitation plan provides investors with two alternatives consisting of either (1) participating ("opt-in") in the plan or (2) not participating ("opt-out") in the plan. Investors electing to opt-in are projected to receive 100% of their July 16, 1991 investment balance over a four-year period from December 31, 1999 to December 31, 2003. Investors electing to opt-out will receive approximately 55% of their July 16, 1991 investment balance no later than mid-1996. The Plan's interest contracts with MBLIC are not covered by state guaranty associations. For certain investments not covered by state guaranty associations, including the Plan's interest contracts, the rehabilitation provides, for those investors electing to opt-in, reinsurance by a consortium of insurance companies including the Prudential Insurance Company of America and the Metropolitan Life Insurance Company. The Plan Trustee elected to opt-in to the MBLIC rehabilitation plan. The Trustee made this decision after review and analysis of the rehabilitation plan and the financial strength of the reinsurers. Based on the MBLIC rehabilitation plan, including the reinsurance provision, no adjustment to the carrying values of MBLIC interest contracts has been made. The Plan's MBLIC interest contracts were credited with interest at 3.55% for 1995 and 1994, and at a rate to be determined based on performance of the underlying assets for years after 1995. Based on the above, interest contracts with ELIC and MBLIC were classified as non-performing at December 31, 1995 and 1994. 11 Associates Investment Plan of Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (Crystal Brands Division), formerly the Voluntary Investment Plan of Crystal Brands, Inc.
