PROXY STATEMENT

GENERAL INFORMATION

General

This Proxy Statement (first mailed to stockholders on or about May 5, 2008) is furnished to the holders of common stock, par value $.01 per share (the ‘‘Common Stock’’), of G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. (‘‘G-III’’) in connection with the solicitation by our Board of Directors of proxies for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the ‘‘Annual Meeting’’), or at any adjournment thereof, pursuant to the accompanying Notice of Annual Meeting of Stockholders. The Annual Meeting will be held on Friday, June 6, 2008, at 10:00 a.m., New York time, at the offices of Fulbright & Jaworski L.L.P., 666 Fifth Avenue, 24th Floor, New York, New York 10103.

It is proposed that at the Annual Meeting: we (i) elect nine directors to serve on our Board of Directors for the ensuing year and (ii) ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2009.

Management currently is not aware of any other matters that will come before the Annual Meeting. If any other matters properly come before the Annual Meeting, the persons designated as proxies intend to vote in accordance with their best judgment on such matters. Proxies for use at the Annual Meeting are being solicited by our Board of Directors. Proxies will be solicited chiefly by mail; however, certain of our officers, directors, employees and agents, none of whom will receive additional compensation therefor, may solicit proxies by telephone or other personal contact. We will bear the cost of the solicitation of the proxies, including postage, printing and handling, and will reimburse the reasonable expenses of brokerage firms and others for forwarding material to beneficial owners of shares of Common Stock.

Revocability and Voting of Proxy

A form of proxy for use at the Annual Meeting and a return envelope for the proxy are enclosed. Unless otherwise indicated on the form of proxy, shares of Common Stock represented by any proxy in the enclosed form, assuming the proxy is properly executed and received by us prior to the Annual Meeting, will be voted with respect to the following items on the agenda: (i) the election of each of the nine nominees for director as shown on the form of proxy and (ii) the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2009.

Stockholders may revoke the authority granted by their execution of a proxy at any time prior to the effective exercise of the powers conferred by that proxy, by filing with the Secretary of G-III a written notice of revocation or a duly executed proxy bearing a later date, or by voting in person at the Annual Meeting. Shares of Common Stock represented by executed and unrevoked proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions specified in such proxies. If no specifications are given, the proxies intend to vote the shares represented thereby ‘‘for’’ the election of each of the nominees for director as shown on the form of proxy, ‘‘for’’ the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2009, and in accordance with their best judgment on any other matters which may properly come before the meetin g.





Record Date and Voting Rights

On May 1, 2008, there were 16,506,277 shares of Common Stock outstanding (excluding those held in treasury). Each of these shares is entitled to one vote upon each of the matters to be presented at the Annual Meeting. Only stockholders of record at the close of business on May 1, 2008 are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting or any adjournment thereof. The holders of a majority of the outstanding shares of Common Stock, present in person or by proxy and entitled to vote, will constitute a quorum at the Annual Meeting. Abstentions and broker non-votes will be counted for purposes of determining the presence or absence of a quorum, but will not be counted with respect to the specific matter being voted upon.

‘‘Broker non-votes’’ are shares held by brokers or nominees which are present in person or represented by proxy, but which are not voted on a particular matter because instructions have not been received from the beneficial owner. Under the applicable Delaware law, the effect of broker non-votes on a particular matter depends on whether the matter is one as to which the broker or nominee has discretionary voting authority under the applicable rules of the New York Stock Exchange. Under current New York Stock Exchange rules, brokers have discretionary authority to vote on the election of directors and on the ratification of the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2009.

The affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote at the Annual Meeting is required for the election of directors. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy and entitled to vote is required to ratify the appointment of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2009.

CORPORATE GOVERNANCE

The Board of Directors has determined that Thomas Brosig, Pieter Deiters, Alan Feller, Laura Pomerantz, William van Bokhorst and Richard White are independent directors. The independent directors constitute a majority of the Board of Directors. In making its determination regarding the independence of the directors, the Board relied upon information provided by each of the directors and noted that each independent director meets the standards for independence set out in Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15) of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC and under the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission, and that there is no material business relationship between G-III and any independent director, including any business entity with which any independent director is affiliated. The Board of Directors reviewed the role of Thomas Brosig as manager of a real estate development project in Mississippi in which Morris Goldfarb and Sammy Aaron, both of who m are executive officers and directors of G-III, were investors. The Board determined that this transaction did not impact Mr. Brosig’s status as an independent director.

The Board of Directors held three meetings and acted by unanimous consent once during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008. During the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008, each director in office during such fiscal year attended not less than 75% of the aggregate number of meetings of the Board of Directors and of meetings of committees of the Board on which he or she served during the time period in which he or she served, except for Thomas Brosig and Laura Pomerantz. We do not have a formal policy regarding attendance by members of the Board of Directors at annual stockholders meetings. Three of our nine directors attended the 2007 Annual Meeting of Stockholders.

Our Board of Directors has several committees, including an Audit Committee, Compensation Committee and Nominating Committee. Each member of our Audit, Compensation and Nominating Committees has been determined by the Board of Directors to be ‘‘independent’’ within the meaning of Marketplace Rule 4200(a)(15) of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC and, in addition, each member of the Audit Committee is ‘‘independent’’ within the meaning of Marketplace Rule 4350(d) of The NASDAQ Stock Market LLC and under the applicable rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission regarding the independence of audit committee members.

Audit Committee

The Audit Committee, composed of Alan Feller, Willem van Bokhorst and Richard White, is responsible for, among other things, assisting the Board in monitoring (i) the integrity of our financial statements, (ii) the qualifications and independence of our independent auditors, (iii) the performance of our internal audit function and independent auditors, and (iv) the compliance by us with legal and regulatory requirements. Mr. Feller is the Chairman of the Audit Committee. The Board has determined that each of Messrs. Feller and White is an audit committee financial expert as such term is defined in the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission. The Audit Committee met eight times during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008. A current copy of the Audit Committee’s charter is available on our website at www.g-iii.com.

Compensation Committee

The purpose of the Compensation Committee is to establish and monitor the basic philosophies and policies governing the compensation of our directors and executive officers and to discharge the responsibilities of the Board relating to such compensation. The Compensation Committee, composed of Laura Pomerantz, Willem van Bokhorst and Richard White, is responsible for reviewing and discussing with management, and recommending to the Board the inclusion of, the Compensation Discussion and Analysis in our annual proxy statement. Mr. White is the Chairman of the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee is also empowered to establish and review our compensation practices and policies and to recommend and/or set the compensation for our executive officers, as well as to authorize and approve employment agreements with our executive officers. In accordance with Nasdaq rules and the Compensation Committee Charter adopted by the Board of Directors, fiscal 2008 compensation of G-III’s executive officers was

9





determined by the Compensation Committee. The Compensation Committee consults with Morris Goldfarb, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, in connection with making its determinations regarding base salary and bonuses for all executive officers. The Compensation Committee relies on the Chief Executive Officer’s evaluation of each executive officer’s performance in determining the amount and mix of the total compensation paid to our named executive officers.

In addition, the Compensation Committee is empowered to oversee and make all decisions regarding our 2005 Stock Incentive Plan. The Compensation Committee also may form and delegate authority to any subcommittee comprised solely of its members who are independent so long as such formation and delegation are in compliance with applicable law and Nasdaq rules. The Compensation Committee met three times and acted three times by unanimous written consent during the year ended January 31, 2008. A current copy of the Compensation Committee’s charter is available on our website at www.g-iii.com.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During the year ended January 31, 2008, Laura Pomerantz, Willem van Bokhorst and Richard White served on our Compensation Committee. None of the members of the Compensation Committee (i) has ever been an officer or employee of ours or (ii) had any relationship requiring disclosure by us under Item 404 of Regulation S-K. None of our executive officers have served on the board or compensation committee (or other committee serving as equivalent function) of any other entity, one of whose executive officers served on our Board of Directors or Compensation Committee.

Nominating Committee and Nominations Process

The Nominating Committee assists the Board in its selection of individuals (i) as nominees for election to the Board of Directors and (ii) to fill any vacancies or newly created directorships on the Board. The members of the Nominating Committee are Messrs. Brosig and White. Mr. White is the Chairman of the Nominating Committee. The Nominating Committee met in April 2008 to review the performance of the members of the Board and recommended to our Board that the existing directors be nominated for election as directors at the Annual Meeting. A copy of the Nominating Committee’s charter is available on our website at www.g-iii.com.

It is the policy of the Nominating Committee to consider candidates for Board membership suggested by Nominating Committee members and other Board members, management, our stockholders, third-party search firms and any other appropriate sources. As a stockholder, you may recommend any person for consideration as a nominee for director by writing to the Nominating Committee of the Board of Directors, c/o G-III Apparel Group, Ltd., 512 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10018. Recommendations must be received by January 5, 2009 to be considered for the 2009 Annual Meeting of Stockholders. Recommendations must include the name and address of the stockholder making the recommendation, a representation setting forth the number of shares of our Common Stock beneficially owned by the recommending stockholder, a statement that the recommended nominee has expressed his or her intent to serve on the Board if elected, biographical information about the recommende d nominee, any other information the stockholder believes would be helpful to the Nominating Committee in evaluating the individual recommended nominee and a description of all arrangements or understandings between the recommending stockholder and each nominee and any other person concerning the nomination.

In evaluating candidates, the Nominating Committee will consider the following criteria: personal integrity, sound business judgment, business and professional skills and experience, independence (as that term is defined under the rules of the Securities and Exchange Commission and the Nasdaq listing standards) and the requirement to maintain a Board that is composed of a majority of independent directors, potential conflicts of interest, the extent to which a candidate would fill a present need, and concern for the long term interests of stockholders. In any particular situation, the Nominating Committee may focus on persons possessing a particular background, experience or qualifications which the Committee believes would be important to enhance the effectiveness of the

10





Board. The evaluation process for stockholder recommendations is the same as for candidates recommended from any other source.

Stockholder Communications

The Board of Directors has provided a process for stockholders to send communications to the Board. Stockholders who wish to send communications to the Board of Directors, or any particular director, should address such communications to the Board or such director c/o G-III Apparel Group, Ltd., 512 Seventh Avenue, New York, New York 10018, Attn: Secretary. All such communications should include a representation from the submitting stockholder setting forth the stockholder’s address and the number of shares of our Common Stock beneficially owned by the stockholder. The Board will give appropriate attention to written communications on issues that are submitted by stockholders and will respond as appropriate. Absent unusual circumstances, the Secretary of G-III will (i) be primarily responsible for monitoring communications from stockholders and (ii) provide copies or summaries of such communications to the Board, or the director to whom such communication i s addressed, as the Secretary considers appropriate. Each stockholder communication will be forwarded to all directors, or the director to whom it is addressed, if it relates to a substantive matter and includes suggestions or comments that the Secretary considers to be important for the directors, or director, to know. In general, stockholder communications relating to corporate governance and long-term corporate strategy are more likely to be forwarded than stockholder communications relating to personal grievances and matters as to which we tend to receive repetitive or duplicative communications.

EXECUTIVE COMPENSATION

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

The following discussion describes the compensation objectives and policies which were utilized with respect to our named executive officers during the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008, or fiscal 2008. In the future, as the Compensation Committee continues to review our compensation program with respect to our named executive officers, the objectives of our executive compensation program, as well as the methods which the Compensation Committee utilizes to determine both the types and amounts of compensation to award to our named executive officers, may change.

Executive Compensation Philosophies and Policies

Our compensation philosophies and policies have evolved over the years. The goals of our compensation program are intended to:

  attract and retain the most highly qualified managerial and executive talent by paying compensation that is competitive with the compensation paid to persons having similar responsibilities and duties at our company and at other companies in our industry and of similar size;
  provide appropriate incentives to produce superior performance of our executives and employees;
  emphasize sustained performance by aligning rewards with stockholders’ interests;
  motivate executives and employees to achieve G-III’s annual and long-term business goals; and
  reward executives for superior individual contributions to G-III.

The Compensation Committee, comprised entirely of independent directors, seeks to achieve these goals in making its decisions with respect to executive compensation. Compensation for our named executive officers is linked to individual performance, experience, leadership and company performance. Measurement of performance is made against financial and non-financial objectives. Additionally, while we generally place more emphasis on internal equity in our compensation decisions, the Compensation Committee may also periodically review competitive market and trend data, performance and market data of other publicly-held apparel companies, individual and company performance. The Compensation Committee has retained an outside compensation consultant to assist it in formulating an incentive compensation plan for senior management for fiscal 2009 and beyond.

Executive Officer Compensation Processes

In establishing the compensation for our executive officers for fiscal 2008, we:

  assessed our executive officers’ performance in relation to G-III’s performance;
  analyzed the compensation levels of comparable executive officers in our company;
  assessed our financial and business results compared to our forecast and our financial performance relative to our past performance and financial goals; and
  determined a mix of base salary and bonus, along with an equity position for some of our executive officers, to align our executive officers’ compensation with performance.

The Compensation Committee takes into consideration the accounting and, to a lesser extent, tax treatment of its compensation decisions. The Compensation Committee has been cognizant of the benefit of stock options granted to employees measured against the related future compensation charges that will be incurred as a result of the stock option grants. In May 2005, the Compensation Committee approved the issuance of restricted stock to our executive officers and other key

12





members of our management. The Compensation Committee considered the potential future impact of the cost to be recognized and measured it against the benefit to the employees and determined that the restricted stock provided a better matching of benefit to the employee and related cost.

The Compensation Committee consults with Morris Goldfarb, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, in connection with making its determinations regarding base salary and bonuses for all executive officers, excluding Morris Goldfarb, whose base salary and bonus is determined by his employment agreement with us. The Compensation Committee relies to a large extent on the Chief Executive Officer’s evaluation of each executive officer’s performance and his recommendations in determining the amount and mix of the total compensation paid to our named executive officers.

Components of the Executive Compensation Program

One of G-III’s strengths is a strong management team. The compensation program is designed to enable G-III to attract, retain and reward capable employees who contribute to G-III’s success. Equity participation and a strong alignment to stockholders’ interests are also elements of our compensation philosophy. Generally, executive compensation has been paid primarily in cash as base salaries and bonus, although this is not due to any specific practice, policy or formula regarding the allocation between long-term and currently paid out compensation or the allocation between cash and non-cash compensation. Our executive compensation program consists, in general, of base salary, annual bonuses and stock-based awards. For the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008, base salary and bonus comprised greater than 90% of the total compensation package for each named executive officer.

Base Salary.    Base salaries are intended to attract and retain talent, provide competitive compensation for the performance of an executive’s basic job duties, and recognize an executive’s responsibilities, experience, leadership and contribution to the success of G-III. Base salaries have been reviewed periodically. The base annual salary for each of Morris Goldfarb, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Sammy Aaron, our Vice Chairman, are determined pursuant to their employment agreements with us. The Compensation Committee reviews base salaries, as well as other components of compensation, on an annual basis. Salary adjustments are generally determined by evaluating the performance of the executive and any increased responsibilities assumed by the executive, the performance of G-III and the competitive marketplace. Salary adj ustments to our named executive officers are usually the result of a recommendation by our Chief Executive Officer.

During fiscal 2008, the Compensation Committee granted an increase in base salary to Neal Nackman. The Compensation Committee reviewed the significant efforts and increased responsibilities undertaken by Mr. Nackman and noted that his last salary increase was in September 2005. None of the other named executive officers received an increase in base salary in fiscal 2008. For a description of the base salaries paid to our named executive officers for fiscal 2008, you should read the Summary Compensation Table and the narrative discussion thereof in this Proxy Statement.

Annual Bonuses.    Annual bonuses for our named executive officers are intended to reward company-wide and individual performance during the year. Bonuses for executive officers, other than our Chief Executive Officer, have generally been discretionary, based on the recommendation of our Chief Executive Officer. While discretionary, the Compensation Committee reviews with our Chief Executive Officer our performance compared to our plan for the year in determining the amount of bonuses to be granted. In addition to measuring our performance against our plan for the year, individual awards are determined based upon an executive’s base salary relative to other senior executives and the executive’s performance and contribution to us during the year.

In assessing individual performance, much like the determination of base salaries, the Compensation Committee considers the individual’s achievement in light of his or her position and responsibilities and contribution to our financial performance, as well as relative bonus levels among our senior executives. Individual performance is measured by, among other things, our financial performance, including sales growth, margin improvement and cost cutting, as well as managing

13





major corporate transactions such as raising capital or the successful completion of an acquisition. The Compensation Committee retains authority to award bonuses on a discretionary basis reflecting, for example, excellent performance in unusual or difficult circumstances even if our financial plan is not achieved.

The Compensation Committee considers the recommendation of G-III’s Chief Executive Officer in awarding discretionary bonuses to other executive officers. Discretionary bonuses for fiscal 2008 awarded to Ms. Nostra, Mr. Miller and Mr. Nackman are reflected in the Summary Compensation Table set forth in this Proxy Statement. Mr. Aaron was not considered for a bonus for fiscal 2008 because he still receives an earnout payment based on the profitability of his division pursuant to the acquisition agreement executed in connection with our acquisition of Marvin Richards in July 2005. See ‘‘Certain Relationships and Related Transactions’’ for a discussion of this payment.

The Compensation Committee believes that bonuses should constitute a higher percentage of the overall compensation of named executive officers than in the past to reward individual performance and our overall performance. As a result, it awarded higher bonuses to the named executive officers as it had done last year as well. In determining individual bonuses, the Committee considers the scope of job responsibilities, individual contribution, current compensation, tenure and G-III’s overall earnings performance. In determining the annual bonuses for fiscal 2008, the Compensation Committee noted the record revenues and earnings achieved by G-III, as well as successful completion by G-III of a public offering and an acquisition in fiscal 2008. The Compensation Committee made all determinations regarding the award of bonuses to executive officers with respect to fiscal 2008. For a description of the bonuses paid to our named executive officers for fiscal 2008, you should read the Summary Compensation Table and the narrative discussion thereof in this Proxy Statement.

Stock-Based Awards.    We believe that equity ownership by management is beneficial in aligning management’s and stockholders’ interests in the enhancement of stockholder value. The Compensation Committee believes that option and restricted stock awards are consistent with the objectives of our executive compensation program, because grants of options or restricted stock provide a long-term view. Since the benefit of the award can only be realized with an appreciation in the price of our Common Stock, these awards incentivize growth in stockholder value. The Compensation Committee believes that the compensation program should provide employees with an opportunity to increase their ownership and potentially gain financially from increases in the price of our Common Stock. By this approach, the best interests of stockholders, executives and employees will be closely aligned.

In fiscal 2006, we issued restricted stock to our executive officers in order to balance G-III’s historical reliance on stock option grants. In October 2007, the Compensation Committee granted options to purchase an aggregate of approximately 170,000 of our shares to a broad-based group of employees, including two of our executive officers.

The grant of options or restricted stock is based primarily on an employee’s potential contribution to our growth and financial results. In determining the size of grants, we also consider the number of options or restricted stock owned by such executive, the number and exercise price of options or restricted stock previously granted, and the aggregate amount of the current option or restricted stock grants. Options generally are granted at the prevailing market value of our Common Stock and will only have value if our stock price increases. Generally, grants of options vest over time, and the individual must be employed by G-III for the options to vest. We have also granted shares of restricted stock that vested based on a significant increase in the price of our Common Stock. We do not have a formal policy with respect to required stock ownership or with respect to adjusting or recovering bonus awards or payments if we were to restate our financial state ments.

Other Compensation

Consistent with our pay-for-performance compensation philosophy, we intend to continue to maintain executive benefits and perquisites for our executive officers; however, the Compensation Committee at its discretion may revise, amend or add to our executive officers’ benefits and

14





perquisites if it deems it advisable. We believe these benefits and perquisites are currently at competitive levels for companies similar to ours.

Our named executive officers are eligible to participate in benefit plans generally available to all of our employees, which include health, dental, life insurance, vision and disability plans. We also sponsor a voluntary 401(k) Employee Retirement Savings Plan for eligible employees administered by Diversified Investment Advisors, Inc. Employees must be at least 21 years of age and have one year with us to be eligible to participate in the plan. Fifty percent of the amount of employee contributions, including those by our named executive officers, may be matched by us up to a maximum of six percent of eligible compensation.

In addition, we provide reasonable perquisites to our named executive officers. For a description of the perquisites paid to our named executive officers for fiscal 2008, you should read the Summary Compensation Table and the narrative discussion thereof in this Proxy Statement.

Change-in-Control Payments

We do not have in effect any general plan that provides for change-in control payments to our executive officers. Our employment agreement with Morris Goldfarb contains a change-in-control provision as discussed under ‘‘Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change-in-Control’’ below.

2005 Stock Incentive Plan

In 2005, our Board of Directors and stockholders adopted the G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. 2005 Stock Incentive Plan (the ‘‘2005 Plan’’). There were 691,671 shares available for issuance under the 2005 Plan as of January 31, 2008. At the 2007 Annual Meeting, our stockholders approved an amendment to the 2005 Plan to reflect changes resulting from our stock split in 2006 and to increase the number of shares of Common Stock available under the 2005 Plan, subject to an annual increase to maintain a share pool equal to six percent (6%) of the total number of issued and outstanding shares of Common Stock on each January 31. On September 11, 2007, our Compensation Committee and Board of Directors approved other amendments to the 2005 Plan to (i) give the Compensation Committee sole responsibility for matters relating to awards to Non-Employee Directors, (ii) limit the ability to accelerate vesting other than in connection w ith a change in control or death, disability or retirement, and (iii) add minimum vesting and performance periods applicable to restricted stock and deferred stock awards.

The 2005 Plan permits us to grant stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, restricted stock units, deferred stock and other stock-based awards to directors, officers, employees, consultants and other individuals (including, independent contractors) who perform or will perform services for us or our affiliates. The Compensation Committee may establish conditions and restrictions on the vesting of such awards and on the issuance of shares of restricted stock as it deems appropriate, including, without limitation, conditions and restrictions based upon continued service, the attainment of specified performance goals and/or other factors and criteria deemed relevant for this purpose.

Generally, the Compensation Committee administers the 2005 Plan, and has discretion to select the persons to whom awards will be made under the 2005 Plan and prescribe the terms and conditions of each award under the 2005 Plan, subject to the delegation of authority discussed above. The Board of Directors also has the power to administer the 2005 Plan. With respect to the application of the 2005 Plan to directors who are not employees of, or consultants to, us (‘‘Non-Employee Directors’’), the Board of Directors has sole responsibility and authority for matters relating to the grant and administration of such awards.

1999 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors

Pursuant to the G-III Apparel Group, Ltd. 1999 Stock Option Plan for Non-Employee Directors (the ‘‘1999 Plan’’), we automatically grant options to purchase shares of Common Stock on an annual basis to Non-Employee Directors. There were approximately 60,180 shares available for issuance under the 1999 Plan as of January 31, 2008.

15





Under the 1999 Plan, which is administered by our Board of Directors, each Non-Employee Director is automatically granted an option to purchase up to 3,000 shares of Common Stock on the day after each annual meeting of our stockholders. Additionally, the 1999 Plan provides that the Board of Directors, acting in its discretion, may make a one-time grant of an option to purchase up to 10,000 shares of Common Stock to an individual when he or she first becomes a Non-Employee Director. All options issued under the 1999 Plan are exercisable at a per share exercise price equal to the closing sale price of a share of Common Stock on the grant date.

The Board of Directors determined that the annual option grant to each Non-Executive Director after the 2008 Annual Meeting would be for 3,000 shares. Accordingly, Ms. Pomerantz and each of Messrs. Brosig, Deiters, Feller, Katz, van Bokhorst and White will receive an option to purchase 3,000 shares of Common Stock if re-elected to the Board at the 2008 Annual Meeting.

Timing of Stock Option Grants

We do not have any plan to select option grant dates or restricted stock award grant dates for our named executive officers in coordination with the release of material non-public information. The Compensation Committee has adopted a general policy that option grants should be made annually, except for new hires and promotions, after the release of earnings for the prior fiscal year. Any options granted to new hires or upon a promotion will generally be made on the first business day of the month after the commencement of employment or effectiveness of the promotion. The exercise price of all stock options awarded to our named executive officers has been made at the market price on the date of the award.

Effect of Section 162(m) of the Code

Under Section 162(m) of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986, as amended (the ‘‘Code’’), a publicly held corporation is generally prohibited from deducting as an expense for federal income tax purposes total remuneration in excess of $1 million paid to any of its chief executive officer or next four most highly compensated executive officers in a single taxable year. However, Section 162(m) of the Code provides an exception for ‘‘performance-based’’ remuneration. Annual incentive bonus amounts payable to Mr. Goldfarb pursuant to his employment agreement and remuneration attributable to non-qualified stock options have been structured to qualify for the ‘‘performance-based compensation’’ exception. The Compensation Committee expects to keep non-’’performance-based’’ remuneration within the $1 million limit to ensure that all executive compensation will be f ully deductible. Nevertheless, although the Compensation Committee considers the net cost to G-III in making all compensation decisions (including the potential limitation on deductibility of executive compensation), there is no assurance that compensation realized with respect to any particular award will qualify as ‘‘performance-based’’ remuneration.

COMPENSATION COMMITTEE REPORT

The Compensation Committee has reviewed and discussed the Compensation Discussion and Analysis required by Item 402(b) of Regulation S-K with management, and based upon such review and discussions, the Compensation Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in this Proxy Statement.

Narrative Discussion of Summary Compensation Table Information

The following is a narrative discussion of the material factors which we believe are necessary to understand the information disclosed in the foregoing Summary Compensation Table. The following narrative disclosure is separated into sections, with a separate section for each of our named executive officers.

19





Morris Goldfarb

Base Salary and Bonus

Pursuant to his employment agreement, Mr. Goldfarb received a base annual salary of $650,000 during fiscal 2007 and fiscal 2008. Mr. Goldfarb has a performance-based incentive bonus provision in his employment agreement. This incentive provision is intended to recognize Mr. Goldfarb’s unique role in overall management and corporate strategy and provide incentive compensation based on overall performance by G-III. Under the terms of this incentive provision, Mr. Goldfarb received an annual bonus of $1,244,000 with respect to fiscal 2007 and $1,736,820 with respect to fiscal 2008. A more complete description of Mr. Goldfarb’s employment agreement is set forth below under the heading ‘‘Goldfarb Employment Agreement.’’

Mr. Goldfarb’s base salary constituted 30.8% of his total compensation in fiscal 2007 and 25.0% of his total compensation in fiscal 2008. His cash bonus constituted 58.9% of his total compensation in fiscal 2007 and 68.6% of his total compensation in fiscal 2008.

Goldfarb Employment Agreement

Mr. Goldfarb has an employment agreement with us effective through January 31, 2010. Two years prior to the expiration of the term of the agreement, it will automatically be extended for an additional year unless prior to that time either Mr. Goldfarb or us provides a written notice that the term should not be extended any further.

The agreement also provides for a $2,000,000 life insurance policy which names Mr. Goldfarb’s wife as beneficiary and an annual incentive bonus equal to varying percentages of pre-tax income (as defined in the employment agreement) if pre-tax income exceeds $2,000,000. The percentages vary from 3% of pre-tax income if pre-tax income is between $2,000,000 and $3,000,000, up to 6% of pre-tax income if pre-tax income is $4,000,000 or more. Pursuant to the employment agreement, we will co ntribute $50,000 per year to a supplemental pension trust for Mr. Goldfarb’s benefit for each year in which net after-tax income (as defined in the employment agreement) exceeds $1,500,000. In addition, pursuant to the employment agreement, in the event that Morris Goldfarb’s employment is terminated (i) by us without cause or (ii) by Morris Goldfarb because of a material breach by us of the agreement, in either case at any time after a ‘‘Change in Control’’ (as defined in the employment agreement), then Mr. Goldfarb will be entitled to receive from us, in general, (a) an amount equal to 2.99 times his base salary and bonus, as well as (b) certain employment-related benefits for a period of three years from the date of his termination.

NONQUALIFIED DEFERRED COMPENSATION

We did not have any defined contribution or other plan that provides for the deferral of compensation on a basis that is not tax-qualified in the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE-IN-CONTROL

We have entered into employment agreements with each of Messrs. Goldfarb and Aaron which requires us to make payments and provide benefits to them in the event of a termination of employment or a change in control. We do not have such severance or change in control arrangements with the other Named Executive Officers.

Severance and Change in Control Arrangements of Mr. Goldfarb

In the event we terminate Mr. Goldfarb’s employment for cause (as defined in his employment agreement) or Mr. Goldfarb voluntarily resigns without cause (as defined in his employment agreement), Mr. Goldfarb will not be entitled to any severance or other compensation of any kind following the effective date of such termination, other than such portion of base salary and other compensation accrued through the date of the termination.

In the event we terminate Mr. Goldfarb’s employment without cause, or Mr. Goldfarb terminates his employment for cause, Mr. Goldfarb will continue to receive his annual salary, annual bonus and other benefits for the term of the employment. If such termination is effectuated after the occurrence of a ‘‘Change in Control’’ (as defined in the employment agreement), then, in lieu of the payments described in the foregoing, Mr. Goldfarb will be entitled to receive an amount equal to 2.99 times his annual base salary and bonus in a lump sum in cash within 30 days after such termination date, plus certain employment-related benefits for a period of three years from the date of his termination. If Mr. Goldfarb’s employment is terminated due to this death, Mr. Goldfarb’s estate will be entitled to receive the base salary for a period of six months from the last day of the month of his death and will be eligible to receive bonus compensation pro-rated according to the number of days of employment in such fiscal year.

During or for a period of one year after the expiration of the term of his employment, Mr. Goldfarb has agreed that he will not intentionally disclose to anyone outside of G-III any of our material confidential matters which are not otherwise in the public domain.

Severance Arrangement of Mr. Aaron

If we terminate Mr. Aaron’s employment for justifiable cause (as defined in his employment agreement) or Mr. Aaron voluntarily resigns without good reason (as defined in his employment agreement), Mr. Aaron will not be entitled to any severance or other compensation of any kind following the effective date of such termination, other than such portion of base salary and other compensation accrued through the date of the termination.

In the event Mr. Aaron’s employment is terminated without justifiable cause or by Mr. Aaron for good reason, Mr. Aaron will continue to receive his annual salary and other benefits for the term of the employment. Our obligation to pay such compensation will be conditional upon Mr. Aaron executing a general release. If Mr. Aaron’s employment agreement is terminated due to his disability or death, Mr. Aaron will be entitled to receive such portion of his annual salary, accrued leave and reimbursement of expenses as has been accrued through the date on which his employment is terminated or through the date of this death.

Mr. Aaron has agreed that until the later of January 31, 2009 and a period of one year following the termination of his employment, he will not carry on, take part in, or render services to, any person engaged in the manufacture, distribution, sale or promotion of men’s and women’s outwear or women’s suits and will not cause any customers with whom we have a business relationship to cancel or terminate such business relationship or solicit or hire from any of our employee. In addition, Mr. Aaron has agreed that at any time following expiration or termination of his employment, he will not disclose to any person any confidential information (as defined in the employment agreement) acquired during the course of his employment relating to G-III or any client of G-III.

25





Acceleration of Vesting upon Termination or Change in Control

There are no agreements with the Named Executive Officers that provide for an acceleration of vesting of the stock options upon their termination of employment or a change in control. Each Named Executive Officer has 90 days after the termination of his employment or a change in control to exercise his vested stock options, unless his employment is terminated for cause in which case the options will immediately terminate and cease to be exercisable.

Estimated Payouts on Termination of Employment

The following tables disclose the estimated payments and benefits that would be provided to each of Messrs. Goldfarb and Aaron, applying the assumptions that each of the triggering events described in their respective employment agreements took place on January 31, 2008 and their last day of employment was January 31, 2008.

These amounts are in addition to benefits payable generally to our salaried employees, such as distributions under the Company’s 401(k) plan, disability benefits and accrued vacation pay.

Due to a number of factors that affect the nature and amount of any benefits provided upon the events discussed below, any actual amounts paid or distributed may be different. Factors that could affect these amounts include the timing during the year of any such event, our stock price and the executive’s age.

AUDIT COMMITTEE REPORT

In accordance with its written charter adopted by the Board of Directors, the Audit Committee of the Board of Directors is responsible for, among other things, overseeing G-III’s accounting and financial reporting processes and reviewing and discussing G-III’s audited financial statements with management.

Management is responsible for G-III’s financial reporting process including its system of internal control and for the preparation of consolidated financial statements in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles. G-III’s independent auditors are responsible for auditing those financial statements. The responsibility of the Audit Committee is to monitor and review these processes. Members of the Audit Committee are not employees of G-III and are not required to be accountants or auditors by profession. Therefore, the Audit Committee has relied, without independent verification, on management’s representation that the financial statements have been prepared with integrity and objectivity and in conformity with generally accepted accounting principles and on the representations of the independent auditors included in their report of G-III’s financial statements.

The oversight by the Audit Committee does not provide an independent basis to determine that management has maintained appropriate accounting and financial reporting principles or policies, or appropriate internal controls and procedures designed to assure compliance with accounting standards and applicable laws and regulations. Furthermore, the Audit Committee cannot give assurance that G-III’s financial statements are presented in accordance with generally accepted accounting principles, that the audit of G-III’s financial statements has been carried out in accordance with generally accepted auditing standards or that G-III’s independent accountants are in fact ‘‘independent.’’

Review of Audited Financial Statements.    The Audit Committee has reviewed G-III’s audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008 as prepared by management and audited by Ernst & Young LLP, G-III’s independent auditors, and has discussed these financial statements with management. In addition, the Audit Committee has discussed with Ernst & Young LLP the matters required to be discussed by Statement of Auditing Standards No. 61 (Communication with Audit Committees), as amended, regarding the codification of statements on auditing standards. Furthermore, the Audit Committee has received the written disclosures and the letter from Ernst & Young LLP required by the Independence Standards Board Standard No. 1 (Independence Discussions with Audit Committees) and has discussed with Ernst & Youn g LLP its independence.

Recommendation.    In reliance on the reviews and discussions referenced above, the Audit Committee recommended to the Board of Directors that the audited financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008 be included in G-III’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for that fiscal year.

PRINCIPAL ACCOUNTING FEES AND SERVICES

The following table sets forth fees we paid for audit, audit-related, tax and other services provided by Ernst & Young LLP during each of the last two fiscal years.


  Fiscal Year Ended January 31,
  2008 2007
Audit fees $ 812,300 $ 620,000
Audit-related fees   21,000
Tax fees 198,000 298,000
All other fees
Total $ 1,010,300 $ 939,000

Audit Fees.    Audit fees include services associated with the audit of our annual financial statements included in our Annual Report on Form 10-K, the audit of management’s assessment and overall effectiveness of internal controls over financial reporting, review of financial statements included in our quarterly reports on Form 10-Q, statutory audits required internationally during each fiscal year and work performed in connection with the issuance of consents related to registration statements filed by the Company.

Audit-related Fees.    Audit-related fees include assurance and other services that are related to the audit and review of our financial statements. These services included consultation for various accounting matters in fiscal 2007.

Tax Fees.    Tax fees include services related to income tax compliance, assistance with tax audits, tax advice and tax planning. In fiscal 2008, these services also included tax consultation in connection with an examination by the New York City Department of Finance.

The Audit Committee has considered whether the provision of the above services is compatible with maintaining Ernst & Young LLP’s independence and all of the above services were pre-approved by the Audit Committee.

It is the Audit Committee’s policy that it pre-approve all audit and permissible non-audit services to be performed by our independent accountants, the fees to be paid for those services and the time period over which those services are to be provided. On an annual basis, the independent accountants present a listing of all services they expect to perform for us in the ensuing one-year period, including fee estimates, in sufficient detail to enable the Audit Committee to perform an independence review of each proposed service. The Audit Committee reviews this list and approves appropriate services which, in the Audit Committee’s judgment, will not impair the accountants’ independence. With respect to any additional services proposed to be performed by the independent accountants during the year, management will evaluate the impact on the independent accountant’s independence and obtain Audit Committee approval for such service. The Audit Committee has delegated interim pre-approval authority to the Chairman of the Audit Committee.

29





PROPOSAL NO. 2

RATIFICATION OF APPOINTMENT
OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTING FIRM

The stockholders will be asked to ratify the appointment by the Audit Committee of Ernst & Young LLP as our independent registered public accounting firm for the fiscal year ending January 31, 2009. If this appointment is not ratified by the stockholders, the Audit Committee will reconsider its decision. Ernst & Young LLP audited our financial statements for the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008. A representative of Ernst & Young LLP is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting, and will have an opportunity to make a statement if such person desires to do so, and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions from stockholders.

THE BOARD OF DIRECTORS DEEMS PROPOSAL NO. 2 TO BE IN THE BEST INTERESTS OF US AND OUR STOCKHOLDERS AND RECOMMENDS A VOTE ‘‘FOR’’ APPROVAL THEREOF.

CERTAIN RELATIONSHIPS AND RELATED TRANSACTIONS

We had in effect for many years a Code of Ethics that contained our conflicts of interest policy. Our Audit Committee has been responsible for reviewing transactions that might involve our Code of Ethics and for reviewing related party transactions. In addition, our Board of Directors has also adopted a written related party transactions policy. The policy covers all transactions between us and any related party (including any transactions requiring disclosure under Item 404 of Regulation S-K), other than transactions generally available to all employees and transactions involving less than ten thousand dollars ($10,000) when aggregated with all similar transactions. The Audit Committee is generally responsible for administering this policy. However, our policy permits the disinterested directors of the Board of Directors to exercise the authority otherwise assigned to the Audit Committee. A related party transaction may be consummated only if it is ratified or approved by the Audit Committee or disinterested members of the Board of Directors and if it is on terms comparable to those that could be obtained in arm’s length dealings with an unrelated third party. Each of the transactions discussed below was approved by our Audit Committee.

In April 2003, our Audit Committee authorized us to enter into a lease agreement (the ‘‘Initial Lease’’) and a management agreement with 345 W. 37th Corp. (‘‘345 Corp.’’), a company owned and managed by Morris Goldfarb, our Chairman and Chief Executive Officer, and Aron Goldfarb, our founder and a director of ours until June 2005. The Initial Lease covered space on the fifth floor of the building located at 345 West 37th Street, New York, New York (the ‘‘Premises’’), parking spaces on the Premises and use of the billboard on the Premises. In January 2004, the Audit Committee approved our entry into a second lease agreement with 345 Corp. pursuant to which we leased additional space at the Premises which we use primarily for office space (the ‘‘Supplemental Lease’’ and together with the Initial Lease, the ‘‘Leases’’).

In March 2007, we entered into an agreement, as approved by our Audit Committee, to terminate the Leases with respect to our office space at 345 West 37th Street. Pursuant to that agreement, we moved out of our office space at 345 West 37th Street prior to May 31, 2007. 345 Corp. paid to us $833,500 to reimburse us for our unamortized leasehold improvements at 345 West 37th Street, moving costs, the cost to improve our existing space and other related costs. Our rental cost for space at the Premises during fiscal 2008 was $102,000. In addition, we paid our pro rata share of operating expenses and real estate taxes, approximately $20,000 per year, plus a $25,0 00 annual contribution to the salaries of security and maintenance staff employed at the Premises. Under the terms of the management agreement, which also terminated as of May 31, 2007, we provided management services with respect to the Premises, consisting primarily of administrative, bookkeeping, lease negotiation and oversight of building operations.

In July 2005, we acquired J. Percy for Marvin Richards, Ltd., CK Outerwear LLC and a 50% interest in Fabio Licensing, LLC (‘‘Marvin Richards’’) pursuant to a Stock Purchase Agreement with the former shareholders of Marvin Richards. Sammy Aaron, our Vice Chairman and a director, was one of the former shareholders of Marvin Richards. The Stock Purchase Agreement provides that we will pay additional cash consideration to the former shareholders if our Marvin Richards division achieves a certain amount of earnings before interest and taxes and amortization of intangibles during each fiscal year ending on January 31, 2006 through January 31, 2009. We paid $1,990,000 of additional cash consideration to Mr. Aaron with respect to the fiscal year ended January 31, 2008.

During fiscal 2008, Jeffrey Goldfarb, the son of Morris Goldfarb, our Chairman, Chief Executive Officer and a director, was promoted to President of our Calvin Klein Suit division. Previously Jeffrey Goldfarb was employed by us as director of business development. Jeffrey Goldfarb was paid an aggregate salary and bonus of $247,308 for his services during fiscal 2008.
