                       Warnaco Group Inc. and Subsidiaries

Subsidiaries of the Registrant

         Warnaco Group Inc. ("Warnaco"), a Delaware corporation, consolidates
all majority owned subsidiaries. The principal consolidated subsidiaries, all of
which are wholly owned by Warnaco or its wholly-owned subsidiaries, except as
indicated, are listed below. Included on the list are subsidiaries which
individually are not significant subsidiaries but primarily represent
subsidiaries in countries in which the Company has operations. The names of
Warnaco's other consolidated subsidiaries, which are primarily wholly owned by
Warnaco or its wholly-owned subsidiaries, are not listed because all such
subsidiaries, considered in the aggregate as a single subsidiary, would not
constitute a significant subsidiary.
