i

RISK FACTORS

You should carefully consider the following risk factors regarding us, in addition to the other information provided in this
prospectus, before you purchase any of our common stock.   If any of the following risks actually occur, our business, financial condition or
results of operations could be materially and adversely affected and the trading price of our common stock could decline significantly.

Our substantial level of debt could impair our financial condition.

We currently have a substantial amount of debt.  Our significant level of debt could have important consequences
to investors, including:

- requiring a substantial portion of our cash flows from operations be used for the payment of interest on our debt, therefore reducing the
funds available to us for our operations or other capital needs;
- limiting our flexibility in planning for, or reacting to, changes in our business and the industries in which we operate because our
available cash flow after paying interest on our debt may not be sufficient to make the capital and other expenditures necessary to address
these changes;
- increasing our vulnerability to general adverse economic and industry conditions because, during periods in which we experience lower
earnings and cash flow, we will be required to devote a proportionally greater amount of our cash flow to paying interest on our debt;
- limiting our ability to obtain additional financing in the future to fund working capital, capital expenditures, acquisitions and general
corporate requirements;
- placing us at a competitive disadvantage to other relatively less leveraged competitors that have more cash flow available to fund working
capital, capital expenditures and general corporate requirements; and
- any borrowings we make at variable interest rates, including our revolving credit facility, leave us vulnerable to increases in interest
rates generally.

Servicing our debt will require a significant amount of cash and we
may be unable to generate sufficient cash flow due to many factors, some of which are beyond our control.

Our ability to make payments with respect to our obligations under our outstanding debt depends on our future
operating performance. Our performance will be affected by our ability to operate and expand profitably our recently acquired Calvin Klein
business and by prevailing economic conditions and financial, competitive, business and other factors, many of which are beyond our control.
As a result of the financing of our acquisition of Calvin Klein, our interest expense has increased.  Our business may not generate sufficient
cash flow from operations, we may not realize our currently anticipated revenues, cost savings and operating performance and we may not have
sufficient future borrowings available to us to pay our debt.  If we are unable to meet our debt service obligations or fund our other
liquidity needs, including our obligation to pay Mr. Klein contingent purchase price payments, we could be forced to reduce or delay capital
expenditures, forego other business opportunities, sell material assets or operations, restructure or refinance our debt, obtain additional
capital or renegotiate, replace or terminate arrangements.  Some of these transactions could occur at times and on terms that are less
advantageous or disadvantageous to us or may not be available to us at all, which could cause us to default on our obligations and impair our
liquidity.  Because a significant portion of our assets are pledged as security to the lenders under our revolving credit facility, we may not
be able to restructure or refinance our debt on satisfactory terms, if at all.  In addition, if we fail to pay Mr. Klein a contingent purchase
price payment when due and such failure to pay continues for 60 days or more after a final judgment by a court is rendered relating to our
failure to pay, Mr. Klein will no longer be restricted from competing with us as he otherwise would be under the non-competition provisions
contained in the purchase agreement relating to our acquisition of Calvin Klein, although he would still not be able to use any of the Calvin
Klein brands or any similar trademark in any competing business.









1

Covenant restrictions under our revolving credit facility and our
indentures impose significant operating and financial restrictions on us and may limit our ability to operate our business and to make payments
on our debt.

Our revolving credit facility and the agreements and instruments governing our other outstanding debt contain
covenants that restrict our ability to finance future operations or capital needs, to take advantage of other business opportunities that may
be in our interest or to satisfy our obligations with respect to other indebtedness. These covenants restrict our ability to, among other
things:

- incur or guarantee additional debt or extend credit;
- pay dividends or make distributions on, or redeem or repurchase, our capital stock or subordinated debt;
- make other restricted payments, including investments;
- dispose of assets;
- engage in transactions with affiliates;
- enter into agreements restricting our subsidiaries' ability to pay dividends;
- create liens on our assets or engage in sale/leaseback transactions; and
- effect a consolidation or merger, or sell, transfer, lease or otherwise dispose of all or substantially all of our assets.

In addition, our revolving credit facility requires us to maintain certain levels of excess borrowing base availability and in certain cases
comply with a specified financial ratio, which may require that we take action to reduce our debt or to act in a manner contrary to our
business objectives.  Events beyond our control, including changes in general business and economic conditions, may affect our ability to meet
these requirements.  A breach of any of these covenants, or our inability to comply with the financial ratio, would result in a default under
our revolving credit facility.  If an event of default under our revolving credit facility occurs, the lenders could elect to declare all
amounts outstanding under the revolving credit facility, together with accrued interest, to be immediately due and payable which would result
in acceleration of our other debt.  If we were unable to repay any such borrowings when due, the revolving credit facility lenders could
proceed against their collateral, which also secures some of our other indebtedness. Under that circumstance, we may not have sufficient funds
to pay all of our debt.

Also, under the indenture governing our 7 3/4% debentures due 2023, if we pay any dividend on or acquire our capital stock which would cause
us to be unable to meet a specified financial test, then the holders of the debentures would have a right to have their notes redeemed.  If
this were to occur, we may not have sufficient funds to satisfy this obligation.

We may not be able to realize revenue growth, cost savings or
synergies from integrating, developing and growing Calvin Klein.

A significant portion of our business strategy involves integrating, developing and growing the Calvin Klein
business.  Our realization of any revenue growth, cost savings or synergies from Calvin Klein will depend largely upon our ability to:

- quickly and substantially reduce the administrative and corporate overhead and back office expenses of Calvin Klein;
- develop, and obtain selling space for, a Calvin Kleinmen's better sportswear line and successfully design and market that line over
time;
- successfully develop the licensing relationship with Kellwood Company and G.A.V. (a business venture among Andrew Grossman, Alexander
Vreeland and Jay Schottenstein) for the development of a Calvin Kleinwomen's better sportswear line;
- successfully develop the licensing relationship with Vestimenta, S.p.A., one of the world's leading manufacturers and distributors of
women's and men's high-end ready-to-wear apparel, with whom we

2

recently entered into an agreement to license the Calvin Klein Collection men's and women's high-end ready-to-wear collection apparel
businesses after a transition period during which our operations will be transferred to Vestimenta;

- open and successfully operate a chain of Calvin Klein retail outlet stores in premium outlet malls;
- maintain and enhance the distinctive brand identity of Calvin Klein while integrating the Calvin Klein business within our
company;
- maintain good working relationships with Calvin Klein's licensees and enter into new licensing arrangements; and
- execute our strategies for Calvin Klein without adversely impacting our existing businesses.

We cannot assure you that we can successfully execute any of these actions or our growth strategy for the Calvin Klein brands or that
the launch of our Calvin Kleinmen's better sportswear line or the launch of any other Calvin Kleinbrandedproducts by us
or our licensees will achieve the degree of consistent success necessary to generate profits or positive cash flow.  Our ability to
successfully carry out our growth strategy may be affected by, among other things, our ability to enhance our relationships with existing
customers to obtain additional selling space and develop new relationships with apparel retailers, economic and competitive conditions, changes
in consumer spending patterns and changes in consumer tastes and style trends.  If we fail to develop and grow successfully the Calvin Klein
business, our financial condition and results of operations may be materially and adversely affected.

We face significant challenges integrating Calvin Klein.

To achieve the anticipated benefits of our acquisition of Calvin Klein, we will need to integrate the businesses
of our Calvin Klein subsidiaries into our operations.  We will face significant challenges in consolidating functions and integrating
management procedures, personnel and operations in an efficient and effective manner, including:

- increased demands on management related to the significant increase in our size and diversity of our businesses after our acquisition of
Calvin Klein;
- the diversion of management's attention from our company's daily operations to implement our strategies for Calvin Klein;
- the retention and integration of key Calvin Klein employees, including designers and marketing and advertising professionals, who may be
uncertain about the changes they are observing and experiencing, such as working for a public company after having worked for a small private
company, having colleagues leave due to consolidation, having new reporting lines, policies, procedures, benefits and compensation practices,
and having a changed work environment as a result of the differences between the prestigious fashion-oriented Calvin Klein brands and
our traditional, moderately-priced businesses and as a result of Mr. Klein not being an employee and having only a limited consulting
role;
- maintaining aspects of Calvin Klein that are to be kept separate from (and which in some cases are different from) our other businesses,
such as:
- overseeing a large number of domestic and foreign licensees over broad product areas;
- administering a substantial worldwide marketing and advertising budget relating to the Calvin Klein marketing and advertising
campaigns, which campaigns have a high profile and are sometimes controversial; and
- addressing the different distribution needs of our new Calvin Klein products and closely monitoring fashion trends and the status of
our Calvin Kleinlabels;
- managing the transition of our high-end ready-to-wear apparel businesses to Vestimenta; and
- merging administrative systems and other functions, including information technology, accounting, financial reporting and logistics
systems, distribution facilities and operations and books and records practices and procedures, as well as in maintaining uniform standards and
controls, including internal accounting and audit controls, procedures and policies.

A substantial portion of our revenues and gross profit is derived from
a small number of large customers and the loss of any of these customers could substantially reduce our revenues.

A few of our customers, including Federated Department Stores, Inc., J. C. Penney Company, Kohl's Corporation,
The May Department Stores Company and Wal-Mart Stores, Inc., account for significant portions of our revenues.  Sales to our five largest
customers were 30.7% of our revenues in fiscal 2002, 27.7% of our revenues in fiscal 2001 and 28.3% of our revenues in fiscal 2000.  We do not
have long-term agreements with any of our customers and purchases generally occur on an order-by-order basis.  A decision by any of our major
customers, whether motivated by competitive conditions, financial difficulties or otherwise, to decrease significantly the amount of
merchandise purchased from us or our licensing or other business partners, or to change their manner of doing business with us or our licensing
or other business partners, could substantially reduce our revenues and have a material adverse effect on our financial condition and results
of operations.  The retail industry has, in the past, experienced a great deal of consolidation and other ownership changes.  Retailers, in the
future, may further consolidate, undergo restructurings or reorganizations, or realign their affiliations, any of which could decrease the
number of stores that carry our products or increase the ownership concentration within the retail industry.  These changes could increase our
reliance on a smaller number of large customers.

Our business could be adversely affected by financial instability
experienced by our customers.

During the past several years, various retailers have experienced significant financial difficulties, which have
resulted in bankruptcies, liquidations and store closings.  We sell our products primarily to national and regional department, mid-tier
department and mass-market stores in the United States on credit and evaluate each customer's financial condition on a regular basis in order
to determine the credit risk we take in selling goods to them.  The financial difficulties of a customer could cause us to curtail business
with that customer and we may be unable to shift sales to another viable customer.  We may also assume more credit risk relating to receivables
of a customer experiencing financial instability.  Should these circumstances arise with respect to our customers, our inability to shift sales
or to collect on our trade accounts receivable from any one of our customers could substantially reduce our revenues and have a material
adverse effect on our financial condition and results of operations.

We primarily use foreign suppliers for our products and raw materials,
which poses risks to our business operations.

During fiscal 2002, in excess of 95% of our apparel products and 95% of our raw materials for apparel were
produced by and purchased or procured from independent manufacturers located in countries in the Far East, Indian subcontinent, Middle East,
Caribbean and Central America.  We believe that we are one of the largest procurers of shirting fabric in the world.  Additionally, 100% of our
footwear products and of the raw materials therefor were produced by and purchased or procured from independent manufacturers located in
countries in the Far East, Europe, South America and the Caribbean.  Although no single supplier and no one country is critical to our
production needs, any of the following could materially and adversely affect our ability to produce or deliver our products and, as a result,
have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations:

- political or labor instability in countries where contractors and suppliers are located;
- political or military conflict involving the United States, which could cause a delay in the transportation of our products and raw
materials to us and an increase in transportation costs;
- heightened terrorism security concerns, which could subject imported or exported goods to additional, more frequent or more thorough
inspections, leading to delays in deliveries or impoundment of goods for extended periods or could result in decreased scrutiny by customs
officials for counterfeit goods, leading to lost sales, increased costs for our anti-counterfeiting measures and damage to the reputation of
our brands;
- a significant decrease in availability or increase in cost of raw materials, particularly petroleum-based synthetic fabrics, which are
currently in high demand;
- disease epidemics and health related concerns, such as the recently subsided SARS outbreak and the mad cow and hoof and mouth disease
outbreaks in recent years, which could result in closed factories, reduced workforces, scarcity of raw materials and scrutiny or embargoing of
goods produced in infected areas;



4

- 
- the migration and development of manufacturers, which can affect where our products are or are planned to be produced;
- imposition of regulations and quotas relating to imports and our ability to adjust timely to changes in trade regulations, which, among
other things, could limit our ability to produce products in cost-effective countries that have the labor and expertise needed;
- imposition of duties, taxes and other charges on imports;
- significant fluctuation of the value of the dollar against foreign currencies; and
- restrictions on transfers of funds out of countries where our foreign licensees are located.

If our manufacturers fail to use acceptable ethical business
practices, our business could suffer.

We require our manufacturers to operate in compliance with applicable laws, rules and regulations regarding
working conditions, employment practices and environmental compliance.  Additionally, we impose upon our business partners, operating
guidelines that require additional obligations in those areas in order to promote ethical business practices, and our staff periodically visits
and monitors the operations of our independent manufacturers to determine compliance.  However, we do not control our independent manufacturers
or their labor and other business practices.  If one of our manufacturers violates labor or other laws or implements labor or other business
practices that are generally regarded as unethical in the United States, the shipment of finished products to us could be interrupted, orders
could be cancelled, relationships could be terminated and our reputation could be damaged.  Any of these events could have a material adverse
effect on our revenues and, consequently, our results of operations.

Our reliance on independent manufacturers could cause delay and damage
customer relationships.

In our fiscal year ended February 2, 2003, we relied upon independent third parties for the manufacture of more
than 95% of our apparel products and 100% of our footwear products.  We do not have long-term contracts with any of our suppliers.  A
manufacturer's failure to ship products to us in a timely manner or to meet required quality standards could cause us to miss the delivery date
requirements of our customers for those products.  As a result, customers may cancel their orders, refuse to accept deliveries or demand
reduced prices.  Any of these actions taken by our customers may have a material adverse effect on our revenues and, consequently, our results
of operations.

As a result of our acquisition of Calvin Klein, we have increased our
dependence on revenues from royalty, design and similar fees.

In our fiscal year ended February 2, 2003, $10.8 million, or 0.8%, of our revenues were derived from licensing
royalties.  In Calvin Klein's fiscal year ended December 28, 2002, 73.3% of Calvin Klein's revenues were derived from royalty, design and
similar fees from business partners.  On a pro forma basis reflecting our acquisition of Calvin Klein, Calvin Klein's royalty, design and
similar fees would have generated 8.0% of our revenues for our fiscal year ended February 2, 2003 (and will account for a significant portion
of our revenues in the future).  A few of Calvin Klein's business partners, including Warnaco, Inc., Unilever N.V. and Marchon Eyewear Inc.,
account for significant portions of its revenues.  Royalty, design and similar fees from Calvin Klein's three largest business partners
accounted for approximately 46% of its revenues in its fiscal year ended December 28, 2002.  The operating profit associated with our royalty,
design and similar fee revenues is significant because the operation expenses directly associated with administering and monitoring an
individual licensing or similar agreement are minimal.  Therefore, the loss of a significant business partner, whether due to the termination
or expiration of the relationship, the cessation of the business partner's operations or otherwise, including as a result of financial
difficulties, without an equivalent replacement, could materially affect our profitability.  For example, Warnaco accounted for approximately
25% of Calvin Klein's revenues and approximately 36% of Calvin Klein's royalty, design and similar fee revenues, in its fiscal year ended
December 28, 2002.  Although Warnaco has emerged from bankruptcy proceedings, no assurance can be given as to its future financial stability.
While we generally have significant control over our business partners' products and advertising, we rely on our business partners for, among
other things, operational and financial controls over their businesses.  Our business partners' failure to successfully market licensed
products or our inability to replace our existing business partners could adversely affect our revenues both directly from reduced royalty,
design and similar fees received and indirectly from reduced sales of our other products.  Risks are also associated with a business partner's
ability to:

5

- obtain capital;
- manage its labor relations;
- maintain relationships with its suppliers;
- manage its credit risk effectively; and
- maintain relationships with its customers.

In addition, we rely on our business partners to preserve the value of our brands.  Although we make every attempt to protect our brands
through, among other things, approval rights over design, production quality, packaging, merchandising, distribution, advertising and promotion
of our products, we cannot assure you that we can control the use by our business partners of each of our licensed brands.  The misuse of our
brands by a material business partner could have a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.  For
example, Calvin Klein in the past has been involved in legal proceedings with Warnaco with respect to certain quality and distribution issues.
As a result of our acquisition of Calvin Klein, Warnaco is entitled to control design and advertising related to the sale of underwear,
intimate apparel and sleepwear products bearing the Calvin Klein brands.  We cannot assure you that Warnaco will maintain the same
standards of design and advertising previously maintained by Calvin Klein, although we believe they are generally obligated to do so.

Our retail stores are heavily dependent on the ability and desire of
consumers to travel and shop.

Our retail stores are located principally in outlet malls, which are typically located in or near vacation
destinations or away from large population centers where department stores and other traditional retailers are concentrated.  As a result, fuel
shortages, increased fuel prices, travel restrictions, travel concerns, bad weather and other circumstances, including as a result of war,
terrorist attacks or the perceived threat of war or terrorist attacks, which would lead to decreased travel, could have a material adverse
affect on us, as was the case after the September 11th terrorist attacks.  Other factors which could affect the success of our
stores include:

- the location of the mall or the location of a particular store within the mall;
- the other tenants occupying space at the mall;
- increased competition in areas where the outlet malls are located;
- a downturn in the economy generally or in a particular area where an outlet mall is located; and
- the amount of advertising and promotional dollars spent on attracting consumers to the malls.



We may be unable to protect our trademarks and other intellectual property
rights.

Our trademarks and other intellectual property rights are important to our success and our competitive position.
We are susceptible to others imitating our products and infringing our intellectual property rights.  Since our acquisition of Calvin Klein, we
are more susceptible to infringement of our intellectual property rights, as the Calvin Klein brands enjoy significant worldwide
consumer recognition and the generally higher pricing of Calvin Klein branded products creates additional incentive for counterfeiters
and infringers.  Imitation or counterfeiting of our products or infringement of our intellectual property rights could diminish the value of
our brands or otherwise adversely affect our revenues.  We have and, prior to our acquisition, Calvin Klein has in the past been involved in
conflicts regarding intellectual property.  We cannot assure you that the actions we have taken to establish and protect our trademarks and
other intellectual property rights will be adequate to prevent imitation of our products by others or to prevent others from seeking to
invalidate our trademarks or block sales of our products as a violation of the trademarks and intellectual property rights of others.  In
addition, we cannot assure you that others will not assert rights in, or ownership of, trademarks and other intellectual property rights of
ours or in marks that are similar to ours or marks that we license and/or market or that we will be able to successfully resolve these types of
conflicts to our satisfaction.  In some cases, there may be trademark owners who have prior rights to our marks because the laws of certain
foreign countries may not protect intellectual property rights to the same extent as do the laws of the United States.  In other cases there
may

6

be holders who have prior rights to similar marks.  For example, we were involved in a proceeding relating to a company's claim of prior
rights to the IZOD mark in Mexico, and Calvin Klein was involved in a proceeding relating to a company's claim of prior rights to the
Calvin Klein mark in Chile.  We are currently involved in opposition and cancellation proceedings with respect to marks similar to some
of our brands, both domestically and internationally.

The success of Calvin Klein depends on the value of our Calvin Klein
brands, and if the value of those brands were to diminish, our business could be adversely affected.

Our success depends on our brands and their value.  The Calvin Kleinname is integral to the existing
Calvin Klein business, as well as to the implementation of our strategies for growing and expanding Calvin Klein.  Although Mr. Klein will
continue as a consultant for three years, he is no longer a member of management.  Our Calvin Klein business could be adversely affected if
there is a perception by consumers that, as a result of the sale of the business, Mr. Klein's role has changed in a manner that is
disadvantageous to the Calvin Klein business.  The Calvin Klein brands could be adversely affected if Mr. Klein's public image or
reputation were to be tarnished.  We may seek in the future stockholder approval to change the name of our company to "Calvin Klein
Inc." or a similar name. Any such name change could increase our risks related to the public perception of the Calvin Klein name.
In addition, we market some of our products under the names and brands of other recognized designers:  Geoffrey Beene, Kenneth Cole and Donna
Karan (DKNY).  Our sales of those products could be materially and adversely affected if any of those designer's images or reputations were to
be negatively impacted.

Our revenues and profits are cyclical and sensitive to general
economic conditions, consumer confidence and spending patterns.

The apparel and footwear industries in which we operate have historically been subject to substantial cyclical
variations and are particularly affected by adverse trends in the general economy, with consumer spending tending to decline during
recessionary periods.  The success of our operations depends on consumer spending.  Consumer spending is impacted by a number of factors,
including actual and perceived economic conditions affecting disposable consumer income (such as unemployment, wages and salaries), business
conditions, interest rates, availability of credit and tax rates in the general economy and in the international, regional and local markets
where our products are sold.  Any significant deterioration in general economic conditions (such as the current economic downturn) or increases
in interest rates could reduce the level of consumer spending and inhibit consumers' use of credit.  In addition, war, terrorist activity or
the threat of war and terrorist activity may adversely affect consumer spending, and thereby have a material adverse effect on our financial
condition and results of operations.

We face intense competition in the apparel and footwear
industries.

Competition is strong in the segments of the apparel and footwear industries in which we operate.  We compete
with numerous domestic and foreign designers, brands and manufacturers of apparel, accessories and footwear, some of which are significantly
larger or more diversified or have greater resources than we do.  In addition, through their use of private label programs, we compete directly
with our wholesale customers.  We compete within the apparel and footwear industries primarily on the basis of:

- anticipating and responding to changing consumer tastes and demands in a timely manner and developing attractive, quality products;
- maintaining favorable brand recognition;
- appropriately pricing products and creating an acceptable value proposition for customers;
- providing strong and effective marketing support;
- ensuring product availability and optimizing supply chain efficiencies with third-party manufacturers and retailers; and
- obtaining sufficient retail floor space and effective presentation of our products at retail.





7

We attempt to minimize risks associated with competition, including risks related to changing style trends and product acceptance, by
closely monitoring retail sales trends.  The failure, however, to compete effectively or to keep pace with rapidly changing markets could have
a material adverse effect on our business, financial condition and results of operations.  In addition, if we misjudge the market for our
products, we may be faced with significant excess inventories for some products and missed opportunities with others.

The loss of members of our executive management and other key
employees could have a material adverse effect on our business.

We depend on the services and management experience of Bruce J. Klatsky, Mark Weber and other of our executive
officers who have substantial experience and expertise in our business.  We also depend on key employees involved in our licensing, design and
advertising operations.  Competition for qualified personnel in the apparel and footwear industries is intense, and competitors may use
aggressive tactics to recruit our key employees.  The unexpected loss of services of one or more of these individuals could materially
adversely affect us.

Significant influence by certain stockholders.

In connection with our acquisition of Calvin Klein, affiliates of Apax Managers, Inc. and Apax Partners Europe
Managers Limited purchased our Series B convertible preferred stock, which, as of November 2, 2003, was convertible by them into 38.3% of our
outstanding common stock.  If we elect not to pay a cash dividend for any quarter, then the Series B convertible preferred stock will be
treated for purposes of the payment of future dividends and upon conversion, redemption or liquidation as if an in-kind dividend has been paid.
As a result, it is possible that if we do not pay a cash dividend in any quarter through the third quarter of our fiscal year ending January
31, 2010 (assuming no further issuances of common stock, including as a result of the exercise of stock options), a change in control will
result under our existing various indentures and certain other agreements.

While the holders of our Series B convertible preferred stock are prohibited from initiating a takeover, in certain circumstances, they may
be able to participate in a bidding process initiated by a third party.  As long as affiliates of the Apax affiliates own at least 50% of the
shares of our Series B convertible preferred stock initially sold to the Apax affiliates, they will have the ability to prevent a change of
control, or a sale of all or substantially all of our assets.  Additionally, as long as 50% of our Series B convertible preferred stock remains
outstanding, the holders of our Series B convertible preferred stock will have a right to purchase their pro rata share of most newly issued
securities.  The holders of our Series B convertible preferred stock have certain additional rights, including the right to approve the
issuance of certain new series of our preferred stock, which could also have the effect of discouraging a third party from pursuing a non-
negotiated takeover, and preventing changes in control, of our company.

As a result of the rights related to their ownership of our Series B convertible preferred stock, the Apax affiliates have substantial
influence over our company, including by virtue of their right to elect separately as a class three directors and to have one of their
directors serve on the audit, compensation, nominating and executive committees of our board, subject to applicable law, rule and regulation.

INFORMATION ABOUT US

We are one of the largest apparel and footwear companies in the world, with a heritage dating back over 120 years.  We design and market
nationally recognized branded dress shirts, sportswear and footwear.  We believe we market one in three of the dress shirts sold in the United
States and have a leading position in men's sportswear tops and men's casual footwear.  Our portfolio of brands includes our own brands, Van
Heusen, Bass,and IZOD, and our licensed brands, Geoffrey Beene, Arrow, DKNY, Kenneth Cole New
York and Reaction by Kenneth Cole.  We recently acquired Calvin Klein, a leading lifestyle design and marketing company, whose
brands enjoy high global recognition.

We design, source and market substantially all of our products on a brand-by-brand basis targeting distinct consumer demographics and
lifestyles.  We market our brands at multiple price points and across multiple channels of distribution.  This allows us to provide products to
a broad range of consumers, while minimizing competition among our brands and reducing our reliance on any one demographic group, merchandise
preference or distribution channel.  Currently, our products are distributed at wholesale through more than 10,000 doors in national and
regional department, mid-tier department, mass market, specialty and independent stores in the United States.  We also leverage our apparel
design and sourcing expertise by offering private label programs to retailers.  Our wholesale business represents our core business and we
believe that it is the basis for our brand equity.  As a profitable complement to our wholesale business, we also market our products directly
to consumers through our Van Heusen, IZOD, Geoffrey BeeneandBass retail stores, primarily located in outlet malls throughout
the United States.

On February 12, 2003, we acquired Calvin Klein.  Over the past 30 years, we believe Calvin Klein has become one of the best known
designer names in the world.  We believe that the Calvin Klein brands - Calvin Klein, cKandcK Calvin Klein- complement
our existing portfolio of brands by providing us with the opportunity to market products at higher price points, in higher-end distribution
channels and to different consumer groups than our existing product offerings.  Although the Calvin Klein brand is well established and,
we believe, enjoys strong brand awareness among consumers worldwide, there are numerous product areas in which no products, or only a limited
number of products, are offered under any Calvin Klein label, including men's and women's better sportswear, footwear and certain
accessories.  We believe our expertise in brand management, product design, sourcing and other logistics provides us with the ability to
successfully expand product offerings and distribution under the Calvin Klein brands while preserving the brands' prestige and global
presence.  As a result, we believe we have the opportunity to realize sales growth and enhanced profitability.

Worldwide retail sales of products sold under the Calvin Klein brands exceeded $3 billion in calendar 2002. These products are sold
primarily under licenses and other arrangements and include jeans, underwear, fragrances, eyewear, men's tailored clothing, ties, shoes,
hosiery, socks, swimwear, watches, coats, leather goods, table top and soft home furnishings and accessories.  Calvin Klein also designs,
manufactures and markets high-end ready-to-wear collection apparel and accessories for men and women under the Calvin Kleinbrand.  We
believe these collections are an important factor in maintaining the Calvin Klein image.  The collection apparel and accessories are
sold to a limited number of high-end department stores and independent boutiques throughout the world and through three company-operated stores
located in New York City, Dallas and Paris.  We have recently entered into an agreement to license the existing collection apparel businesses
to Vestimenta, one of the world's leading manufacturers and distributors of women's and men's high-end ready-to-wear apparel, commencing with
the spring 2004 collection. Under the license agreement with Vestimenta, which will be in full effect on January 1, 2004, we are transferring
the operations of the businesses to Vestimenta. Calvin Klein controls all design operations and product development for most of its licensees
and all of its collection apparel, which it will continue to do under its agreement with Vestimenta.  Calvin Klein oversees a worldwide
marketing and advertising budget of over $200 million, the majority of which is funded by its licensees.  We believe that maintaining control
over design and advertising through Calvin Klein's dedicated in-house teams plays a key role in the continued strength of the Calvin Kleinbrands.

We were incorporated in the State of Delaware in 1976 as the successor to a business begun in 1881, and, with respect to our footwear group,
to G.H. Bass & Co., a business begun in 1876.  Our principal executive offices are located at 200 Madison Avenue, New York, New York 10016;
our telephone number is (212) 381-3500.

USE OF PROCEEDS

We will not receive any of the proceeds from the sale of the shares offered by this prospectus.  All proceeds from the
sale of the shares covered by this prospectus will be for the account of the selling stockholders named below.  See "Selling
Stockholders" and "Plan of Distribution."

SELLING STOCKHOLDERS

On February 12, 2003, we acquired Calvin Klein.  The total net consideration paid was $438 million, subject to post-closing adjustments,
and was comprised of $408 million in net cash and $30 million of our common stock issued to the stockholders of Calvin Klein.  In addition, in
connection with the acquisition of Calvin Klein and in consideration for Mr. Klein's sale to us of all of his rights under a design services
letter agreement with Calvin Klein, Mr. Klein received a warrant to purchase shares of our common stock and will receive contingent purchase
price payments based on the worldwide net sales of products bearing any of the Calvin Klein brands for a period of 15 years.  We refer
you to "--Our  Relationship with Mr. Klein and Mr. Schwartz."

In connection with the closing of our acquisition of Calvin Klein, we issued 2,535,926 shares of our common stock to the stockholders of
Calvin Klein in a privately-negotiated transaction pursuant to the exemption from registration provided under Section 4(2) of the Securities
Act.  In connection with our issuance of that common stock, we granted the stockholders of Calvin Klein certain registration rights under a
registration rights agreement we entered into with them on February 12, 2003.  This prospectus covers the offer and sale of those shares of
common stock held by each of the former stockholders of Calvin Klein.  The registration rights agreement also restricts the rights of the
former Calvin Klein stockholders to sell their shares of our common stock pursuant to the registration statement of which this prospectus is a
part.  In any three-month period, the stockholders of Calvin Klein may only sell in total, pursuant to the registration statement of which this
prospectus is a part, that number of our shares of common stock equal to the greater of (a) 15% of the average reported trading volume of our
shares of common stock on the New York Stock Exchange as reported in the Wall Street Journal for the three-month period immediately
prior to such sale or (b) the maximum that stockholder would be eligible to sell in accordance with Rule 144 under the Securities Act.

We partially funded our acquisition of Calvin Klein through the sale for $250 million of 10,000 newly issued shares of our Series B
convertible preferred stock to affiliates of Apax Managers, Inc. and Apax Partners Europe Managers Limited.  As of November 2, 2003, the 10,000
shares of our Series B convertible preferred stock were convertible into 18,910,436 shares of our common stock at a conversion price of $14 per
share of common stock.  The Series B convertible preferred stock has a dividend rate of 8% per annum payable in cash.  If we elect not to pay a
cash dividend for any quarter, then the Series B convertible preferred stock will be treated for purposes of the payment of future dividends
and upon conversion, redemption or liquidation as if an in-kind dividend had been paid.  This prospectus covers the offer and sale by the Apax
affiliates of those shares of our common stock currently issuable upon conversion of the Series B convertible preferred stock, plus an
additional 3,688,068 shares of our common stock issuable in the event we elect not to pay cash dividends on a quarterly basis through the
fourth quarter of our fiscal year ending January 29, 2006. The shares are issuable at any time or from time to time upon the conversion of the
Series B convertible preferred stock by the Apax affiliates.  The Series B convertible preferred stock was originally issued to the Apax
affiliates in a privately-negotiated transaction pursuant to the exemption from registration provided under Section 4(2) of the Securities Act.
In connection with our issuance of the Series B convertible preferred stock, we granted the Apax affiliates certain registration rights under a
registration rights agreement we entered into with them on February 12, 2003.

The following table sets forth, as of the date of this prospectus: (1) the name of each selling stockholder, (2) the number of shares of our
common stock owned by each selling stockholder prior to the offering, (3) the number of shares offered for the account of each selling
stockholder pursuant to this prospectus and (4) the number of shares that each selling stockholder would own after this offering if he, she or
it sold all its shares registered by this prospectus.







10

We cannot be certain of the number of shares that the selling stockholders will hold in the aggregate at the end of the
offering covered by this prospectus because the selling stockholders may sell all, part or none of their shares pursuant to this prospectus and
this offering is not being underwritten on a firm commitment basis.  Each selling stockholder will receive all of the net proceeds from the
sale of his, her or its shares offered by this prospectus.

Our Relationship with the Apax Affiliates



The Apax affiliates, each of which is a selling stockholder hereunder, purchased our Series B convertible preferred stock for $250
million in February 2003, the proceeds of which we used to pay a portion of the purchase price for Calvin Klein.  Pursuant to the Certificate
of Designations, Preferences and Rights for the Series B convertible preferred stock and an investors' rights agreement entered into with the
Apax affiliates, the holders of such stock have the right to elect separately as a class up to three directors to our board of directors and
one of those directors to our audit committee, compensation committee, executive committee and nominating committee.  David A. Landau, Henry
Nasella and Christian Näther were elected by the Apax affiliates as their designees on our board of directors.  Mr. Landau was designated
to serve on the compensation, executive and nominating committees and Mr. Nasella was designated to serve on the audit committee.  The Apax
affiliates are private equity funds, the discretionary investment manager of some of which is Apax Partners Europe Managers Limited and the
general partner of the general partner of which is either Apax Europe V GP Co. or Apax Managers, Inc.  Apax Partners Europe Managers Limited,
Apax Europe V GP Co. and Apax Managers, Inc. are affiliates of Apax Partners, Inc. and David A. Landau is a partner, Henry Nasella is a venture
partner and Christian Näther is a partner of Apax Partners, Inc.  We refer you to "Risk Factors - Significant influence by certain
stockholders."

Also in connection with our acquisition of Calvin Klein, the Apax affiliates entered into a $125 million two-year loan agreement with us.
We borrowed $100 million in connection with the closing of the acquisition of Calvin Klein and borrowed the remaining $25 million on March 14,
2003.  The secured loan provided for interest to accrue from inception until February 12, 2004 at a rate of 10% per annum and, thereafter,
interest would have been at the rate of 15% per annum.  We used a portion of the net proceeds of a recently-completed offering of senior
unsecured notes pursuant to Rule 144A and Regulation S under the Securities Act to repay the outstanding balance of $125 million, plus accrued
interest.

Our Relationship with Mr. Klein and Mr. Schwartz

Mr. Klein and Mr. Schwartz, former stockholders of Calvin Klein, are and/or may control certain selling stockholders or may be deemed to
own the shares held by certain selling stockholders.  Upon our acquisition of Calvin Klein, Mr. Klein's and Mr. Schwartz's employment
arrangements with Calvin Klein were terminated.  Prior to that time, Mr. Klein was Vice-Chairman of Calvin Klein and Mr. Schwartz was Chairman
of the Board, Chief Executive Officer and Treasurer of Calvin Klein.  Messrs. Klein and Schwartz also resigned from the board of directors of
Calvin Klein.

In connection with our acquisition of Calvin Klein, we entered into a three-year consulting agreement with Mr. Klein for $1 million per
year.  Mr. Klein is available to consult on advertising, marketing, design, promotion and publicity aspects of Calvin Klein.  Mr. Klein is
prohibited from competing against us under the terms of the Calvin Klein purchase agreement, although he has the right to use his name,
likeness and other rights of publicity with respect to certain personal businesses and activities.

Prior to our acquisition of Calvin Klein, Calvin Klein was obligated to pay Mr. Klein and his heirs in perpetuity a percentage of sales of
certain products bearing any of the Calvin Kleinbrands under a design services letter agreement.  In connection with our acquisition of
Calvin Klein, we bought all of Mr. Klein's rights under that agreement in consideration of a warrant to purchase 320,000 shares our common
stock for $28.00 per share and for granting him the right to receive from us contingent purchase price payments for a period of 15 years based
on a percentage of total worldwide net sales of products bearing any of the Calvin Klein brands.  In addition, Mr. Klein was released
from all of his obligations under that agreement, including his obligation to render design services to Calvin Klein, and the design services
letter agreement was terminated.  Our obligation to make contingent purchase price payments to Mr. Klein in connection with our acquisition of
Calvin Klein is guaranteed by our Calvin Klein subsidiaries and is secured by a subordinated pledge of all of the equity interests in our
Calvin Klein subsidiaries and a subordinated lien on substantially all of our domestic Calvin Klein subsidiaries' assets.  Events of default
under the agreements governing the collateral for our contingent payment obligations to Mr. Klein, include, but are not limited to (1) our
failure to make payments to Mr. Klein when due, (2) covenant defaults, (3) cross-defaults to other indebtedness in excess of an agreed amount,
(4) events of bankruptcy, (5) monetary judgment defaults and (6) a change of control,







12

including the sale of any portion of the equity interests in Calvin Klein.  An event of default under those agreements would permit Mr.
Klein to foreclose on his security interest in the collateral.  In addition, if we fail to pay Mr. Klein a contingent purchase price payment
when due and such failure to pay continues for 60 days or more after a final judgment by a court is rendered relating to our failure to pay,
Mr. Klein will no longer be restricted from competing with us as he otherwise would be under the non-competition provisions contained in the
purchase agreement relating to our acquisition of Calvin Klein, although he would still not be able to use any of the Calvin Klein
brands or any similar trademark in any competing business.

Also, in connection with our acquisition of Calvin Klein, Mr. Schwartz agreed not to compete with us for five years.

PLAN OF DISTRIBUTION

The selling stockholders may from time to time offer and sell their shares offered by this prospectus.  However, registration does not
necessarily mean that they will offer and sell any or all of their shares.

Offer and Sale of Shares

The selling stockholders, or their pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors-in-interest who receive shares offered by this
prospectus from a selling stockholder as a gift, pledge, partnership distribution or other non-sale related transfer, may offer and sell their
shares in the following manner:

- through the New York Stock Exchange or otherwise at prices and at terms then prevailing or at prices related to the then current market
price;
- at fixed prices, which may be changed; or
- in privately-negotiated transactions.

The selling stockholders, or their pledgees, donees, transferees or other successors-in-interest who receive shares offered by this
prospectus from a selling stockholder, may sell their shares in one or more of the following types of transactions:

- a block trade in which a broker-dealer engaged to sell shares may sell all of such shares in one or more blocks as agent;
- a broker-dealer may purchase as principal and resell shares for its own account pursuant to this prospectus;
- an exchange distribution in accordance with the rules of the exchange;
- a securities or quotation system sale in accordance with the rules of the quotation system;
- upon the exercise of options written relating to the shares;
- ordinary brokerage transactions or transactions in which the broker solicits purchasers;
- a privately-negotiated transaction; and
- any combination of the foregoing, or any other available means allowable under law.









13

From time to time, a selling stockholder may transfer, pledge, donate or assign its shares of our common stock to lenders or
others and each of those persons will be deemed to be a "selling stockholder" for purposes of this prospectus.  The number of shares
beneficially owned by a selling stockholder may decrease as, when and if it takes such actions.  The plan of distribution for the selling
stockholder's shares sold under this prospectus will otherwise remain unchanged, except that the transferees, pledgees, donees or other
successors will be a selling stockholder hereunder.

A selling stockholder may enter into hedging, derivative or short sale transactions with broker-dealers in connection with sales or
distributions of the shares or otherwise.  In these transactions, broker-dealers may engage in short sales of the shares in the course of
hedging the positions they assume with the selling stockholder.  A selling stockholder also may sell shares short and redeliver the shares to
close out short positions and engage in derivative or hedging transactions.  A selling stockholder may enter into option or other transactions
with broker-dealers which require the delivery to the broker-dealer of the shares.  The broker-dealer may then resell or otherwise transfer the
shares under this prospectus.  A selling stockholder also may loan or pledge the shares to a broker-dealer.  The broker-dealer may sell the
loaned shares or upon a default the broker-dealer may sell the pledged shares under this prospectus.

Selling Through Broker-Dealers

The selling stockholders may select broker-dealers to sell their shares.  Broker-dealers that the selling stockholders engage may
arrange for other broker-dealers to participate in selling such shares.  The selling stockholders may give such broker-dealers commissions or
discounts or concessions in amounts to be negotiated immediately before any sale.  In connection with such sales, these broker-dealers, any
other participating broker-dealers, and the selling stockholders and certain pledgees, donees, transferees and other successors in interest,
may be deemed to be "underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act in connection with the sale of the shares.
Accordingly, any such commission, discount or concession received by them and any profit on the resale of the shares purchased by them may be
deemed to be underwriting discounts or commissions under the Securities Act.  Because the selling stockholders may be deemed to be
"underwriters" within the meaning of Section 2(11) of the Securities Act, the selling stockholders will be subject to the prospectus delivery
requirements of the Securities Act.  In addition, any securities covered by this prospectus which qualify for sale pursuant to Rule 144 under
the Securities Act may be sold under Rule 144 rather than under this prospectus.  The selling stockholders have advised us that they will not
enter into any agreements, understandings or arrangements with any underwriters or broker-dealers regarding the sale of their securities
without written notice to us.  There is no underwriter or coordinating broker acting in connection with the proposed sale of the shares covered
by this prospectus by the selling stockholders.

Supplemental Prospectus Regarding Material Arrangements

If and when a selling stockholder notifies us that he, she or it has entered into a material arrangement with a broker-dealer for the
sale of any portion of his, hers or its shares offered by this prospectus through a block trade, special offering, exchange or secondary
distribution or a purchase by a broker-dealer, we will file a supplemental prospectus, if required, pursuant to Rule 424(c) under the
Securities Act.  In addition, upon being notified by a selling stockholder that a donee, pledgee, transferee or other successor-in-interest
intends to sell more than 500 shares, a supplement to this prospectus will be filed.

Expenses of Selling Stockholders

We will bear all costs, expenses and fees in connection with the registration of the shares.  We have agreed to indemnify and hold the
selling stockholders harmless against certain liabilities under the Securities Act that could arise in connection with the sale by the selling
stockholders of the shares.  The selling stockholders will bear all commissions and discounts, if any, attributable to the sales of the shares.
The selling stockholders may agree to indemnify any broker-dealer or agent that participates in transactions involving sales of the shares
against certain liabilities, including liabilities arising under the Securities Act.







14

Compliance with State Securities Laws

We have not registered or qualified the shares of common stock offered by this prospectus under the laws of any country, other than the
United States.  In certain states in the United States, the selling stockholders may not offer or sell their shares unless (1) we have
registered or qualified such shares for sale in such states; or (2) we have complied with an available exemption from registration or
qualification.  Also, in certain states, to comply with such states' securities laws, the selling stockholders must offer and sell their shares
only through registered or licensed broker-dealers.

Limitations Imposed by the Securities Exchange Act of 1934 Rules and Regulations

Certain provisions of the Exchange Act, and related rules and regulations, will apply to the selling stockholders and any other person
engaged in a distribution of the shares covered by this prospectus. Those provisions may (1) limit the timing of purchases and sales of any of
the shares by the selling stockholders or such other person; (2) affect the marketability of the shares; and (3) affect the broker-dealers'
market-making activities with respect to the shares.

Suspension of this Offering

We may suspend the use of this prospectus if we learn of any event that causes this prospectus to include an untrue statement of
material fact or omit to state a material fact required to be stated in the prospectus or necessary to make the statements in the prospectus
not misleading in light of the circumstances then existing.  If this type of event occurs, a prospectus supplement or post-effective amendment,
if required, will be distributed to the selling stockholders.

TRANSFER AGENT AND REGISTRAR

The Bank of New York, located at 101 Barclay Street, New York, New York 10286, is the transfer agent and registrar for our common
stock.

had no reasonable cause to believe his conduct was unlawful.  In addition, our Certificate of Incorporation provides for a director or officer
