Dear Mr. Reynolds:

 

Guess?, Inc. (the “Company”) is in receipt of your letter dated November 10, 2008 (the “Comment Letter”) that sets forth the comment of the staff of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “Commission”) regarding the Company’s response letter dated October 2, 2008, concerning the Company’s above-referenced Form 10-K for fiscal year ended February 2, 2008 filed with the Commission on April 1, 2008 and the Company’s Proxy Statement filed with the Commission on May 15, 2008.

 

In the Comment Letter, you requested that the Company respond to the comment set forth therein within 10 business days of November 10, 2008, or tell the Commission when the Company would provide a response.
