Phillips-Van Heusen - Fashion Company Profile

Company Profile

The company this page names no longer exists under this name, and that is the page's whole subject, so a short history note is the right form here. Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation (NYSE: PVH) announced on June 23, 2011 that it had been formally renamed PVH Corp. The business itself continued without interruption - same ticker, same brands, same New York headquarters - and its full record, from the 1876 and 1881 foundations through the Van Heusen collar to Calvin Klein, sits on the PVH Corporation profile in this letter, which also carries the company's current snapshot: a public company focused on Calvin Klein and Tommy Hilfiger after selling its heritage brands in 2021 and its Warner's, Olga and True & Co. intimates brands in 2023. There is no shop box on this page: it is the record of a retired corporate name, and the current company's shopping links sit on the PVH Corporation profile. The official website button above leads to PVH Corp., the successor company.

Please visit the PVH Corp. profile page for more information about this company, the historical record instructs, and this rebuild follows that instruction literally. The full history of the company - the nineteenth-century shirt and shoe businesses it descends from, the self-folding collar, the dress shirt brands, the Calvin Klein acquisition and the summaries filed in 2011 and 2014 - is carried on the PVH Corporation profile in this same letter, cross-linked from this page's chips and kept links. Repeating that history here would create two near-identical filings answering to two names for one company, so this page does the opposite job: it records the change of name itself, with its date, its vote and its stock exchange identity, and then it routes the reader onward.

Reading a Renaming: What Changed and What Did Not

A renaming, read carefully, changes a letterhead rather than a business. The filing states the new name, PVH Corp., and the continuing stock identity, (NYSE: PVH), in the same announcement, and the ticker's survival inside the announcement is the detail a financial researcher should notice first: the market was not being told that one company had ended and another begun. The date matters the same way. Documents, labels and filings dated before June 23, 2011 correctly say Phillips-Van Heusen Corporation; documents after it correctly say PVH Corporation; and a profile that blurred that boundary would make both halves of the archive harder to trust. This page therefore quotes the change with its full date every time it states it, never as a vague recent rebranding.

That is also why Apparel Search keeps both profiles permanently rather than merging them into one. The PVH Corporation page, linked below, is the living profile: history, brand rosters and dated summaries. This Phillips-Van Heusen page is the permanent signpost at the old name, recording when the name ended, what replaced it, and where every old-name route on this site still leads. If you work at PVH, the historical record added, you are welcome to join discussions about your company or other apparel industry companies - a closing invitation whose network reference is not carried under current policy, but whose spirit is the directory's standing one: filings here are corrected and extended from the industry's own knowledge, and the routes below are the way to reach the people who keep them.
