A total of 2,500,000 shares of Common Stock were registered for issuance, offer or sale under the 1997 Form S-8. On June 13, 2006, the stockholders of the Registrant approved the 2006 Stock Incentive Plan (the 2006 Plan) and, accordingly, 18,793 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 1997 Plan were available for issuance, offer and sale under the 2006 Plan as of June 13, 2006.   In addition, 1,412 shares of Common Stock underlying outstanding grants under the 1997 Plan on June 13, 2006 were forfeited between June 13, 2006 and June 18, 2007.  Therefore, 20,205 shares of Common Stock are hereby deregistered.  The 1997 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 1997 Plan.       SIGNATURES Pursuant to the requirements of the Securities Act of 1933, Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation certifies that it has reasonable grounds to believe that it meets all of the requirements for filing on Form S-8/A and has duly caused this Registration Statement to be signed on its behalf by the undersigned, thereunto duly authorized, in the city of New York, state of New York, on the 20th day of June, 2007.
