PROXY STATEMENT

ICONIX BRAND GROUP, INC.

ANNUAL MEETING OF STOCKHOLDERS

TO BE HELD ON AUGUST 16, 2007

This proxy statement is furnished in connection with the solicitation of proxies by the Board of Directors of ICONIX BRAND GROUP, INC. (the “Company”, “Iconix”, “we”, “us” or “our”) for use at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders (the “Annual Meeting”) to be held on August 16, 2007, including any adjournment or adjournments thereof, for the purposes set forth in the accompanying Notice of Meeting.

Management intends to mail this proxy statement and the accompanying form of proxy to stockholders on or about July , 2007.

Proxies in the accompanying form, duly executed and returned to the management of the Company and not revoked, will be voted at the Annual Meeting. Any proxy given pursuant to such solicitation may be revoked by the stockholder at any time prior to the voting of the proxy by a subsequently dated proxy, by written notification to the Secretary of the Company, or by personally withdrawing the proxy at the meeting and voting in person.

The address and telephone number of the principal executive offices of the Company are:

1450 Broadway

New York, New York 10018

Telephone No.: (212) 730-0030

OUTSTANDING STOCK AND VOTING RIGHTS

Only stockholders of record at the close of business on July 5, 2007 (the “Record Date”) are entitled to notice of and to vote at the Annual Meeting. As of the Record Date, there were issued and outstanding shares of the Company’s common stock, $.001 par value per share (the “Common Stock”), the Company’s only class of voting securities. Each share of Common Stock entitles the holder to one vote on each matter submitted to a vote at the Annual Meeting.

VOTING PROCEDURES

The directors will be elected by the affirmative vote of the holders of a plurality of the shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting, provided a quorum is present. Therefore, the six nominees receiving the greatest number of votes cast at the meeting will be elected as directors of the Company. The affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding on the Record Date will be required to approve the proposal to amend our Certificate of Incorporation to increase our authorized Common Stock. All other matters at the Annual Meeting, including the ratification of the appointment of BDO Seidman, LLP as the Company’s independent registered public accountants for its fiscal year ending December 31, 2007 will be decided by the affirmative vote of the holders of a majority of the shares of Common Stock present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting and entitled to vote on the matter, provided a quorum is present. A quorum is present if at least a majority of the shares of Common Stock outstanding as of the Record Date are present in person or represented by proxy at the Annual Meeting. Votes will be counted and certified by one or more Inspectors of Election who are expected to be employees of the Company. In accordance with Delaware law, abstentions and “broker non-votes” (i.e., proxies from brokers or

nominees indicating that such persons have not received instructions from the beneficial owner or other person entitled to vote shares as to a matter with respect to which the brokers or nominees do not have discretionary power to vote) will be treated as present for purposes of determining the presence of a quorum. For purposes of determining approval of a matter presented at the meeting, abstentions will be deemed present and entitled to vote and will, therefore, have the same legal effect as a vote “against” a matter presented at the meeting. Broker non-votes will be deemed not entitled to vote on the subject matter as to which the non-vote is indicated and will, therefore, have no legal effect on the vote on that particular matter although it will have the same practical effect as a vote against the proposal to amend the Company’s Certificate of Incorporation.

Proxies will be voted in accordance with the instructions thereon. Unless otherwise stated, all shares represented by a proxy will be voted as instructed. Proxies may be revoked as noted above.

ELECTION OF DIRECTORS

At the Annual Meeting, six (6) directors will be elected to hold office for a term expiring at the Annual Meeting of Stockholders to be held in 2008. Each director will be elected to serve until a successor is elected and qualified or until the director’s earlier resignation or removal.

At the Annual Meeting, proxies granted by stockholders will be voted individually for the election, as directors of the Company, of the persons listed below, unless a proxy specifies that it is not to be voted in favor of a nominee for director. In the event any of the nominees listed below is unable to serve, it is intended that the proxy will be voted for such other nominees as are designated by the Board of Directors. This is the first opportunity for the stockholders to elect Mr. Cuneo and Mr. Friedman. Mr. Cuneo was recommended to the Governance/Nominating Committee by the Company’s Chief Financial Officer, and Mr. Friedman was recommended to the Governance/Nominating Committee by one of the Company’s non-executive directors.

Executive Compensation

Compensation Discussion and Analysis

This Compensation Discussion and Analysis section is intended to provide information about our compensation objectives, policies and practices for our principal executive officer, our principal financial officer and our three other most highly compensated executive officers and our former executive vice president (we refer to these officers as our “Named Executive Officers”) that will place in context the information contained in the tables that follow this discussion.

Philosophy and Objectives

We seek to deliver fair and competitive compensation for our employees and executives, including our Named Executive Officers, along with increased returns to our stockholders, by structuring compensation around one fundamental goal: incentivizing our executives to build stockholder value over the long term. Our ability to attract, motivate and retain employees and executives with the requisite skills and experience to develop, expand and execute business opportunities for us is essential to our growth and success. Accordingly, although we believe that we offer attractive career opportunities and challenges for our employees, we are mindful that the best talent will always have a choice as to where they wish to pursue their careers, and fair and competitive compensation is an important element of job satisfaction.

While our compensation program includes short-term elements, such as annual base salary, and in some cases, an annual incentive cash bonus, a significant aspect of our senior level employees’ compensation includes longer term elements such as equity-based awards through grants of restricted stock and stock options. We believe that our compensation program contributes to our employees’ and Named Executive Officers’ incentive to execute on our goals and perform their job functions with excellence and integrity.

We have entered into written employment agreements with our Named Executive Officers, Neil Cole, David Conn, Warren Clamen, Andrew Tarshis and Deborah Sorell Stehr. In addition, we entered into a written employment agreement with William Sweedler, former executive vice president and a former director, which agreement was terminated in June 2006, after which Mr. Sweedler was employed by us as a non-executive part-time employee for a transition period ending in September 2006. See “– Narrative to Summary Compensation Table and Plan-Based Awards Table – Employment Agreements” for a description of these employment agreements and related information.

Forms of Compensation Paid to Named Executive Officers During 2006

During the last fiscal year, we provided our Named Executive Officers with the following forms of compensation:

Base salary. Base salary represents amounts paid during the fiscal year to Named Executive Officers as direct guaranteed compensation under their employment agreements for their services to us.

-10-

Equity-based awards. Awards of shares of restricted stock and stock options are made under our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, which was approved by our stockholders in August 2006, or under other our other option plans depending upon the amount of equity to be granted under the respective plans. Shares of restricted stock were issued subject to a vesting schedule and cannot be sold until and to the extent the shares have vested. In 2006, we awarded shares of restricted stock to three of the Named Executive Officers in connection with the renewal of their employment agreements vesting over the respective terms of those agreements.

Cash bonuses. Two of our Named Executive Officers in 2006 have a contractual right to receive a cash bonus, one based upon our performance, and the other a guaranteed amount. Mr. Cole has waived receipt of the bonus for 2006 to which he would have been entitled under his employment agreement.

Perquisites and other personal benefits. During 2006, our Named Executive Officers received, to varying degrees, a limited amount of perquisites and other personal benefits that we paid on their behalf. These included, among other things:

•

payments of life insurance premiums;

•

car allowances; and

•

a corporate car and driver.

Objectives of Our Compensation Program

The compensation paid to our Named Executive Officers is primarily structured into two broad categories:

•

base salary; and

•

incentive compensation, primarily in the form of equity-based awards under our various equity incentive and stock option plans; to a much lesser degree, certain of our Named Executive Officers also have received cash bonuses.

Our overall compensation program with respect to our Named Executive Officers is designed to achieve the following objectives:

•

to attract, retain and motivate highly qualified executives through both short-term and long-term incentives that reward Company and individual performance;

•

to emphasize equity-based compensation to more closely align the interests of executives with those of our stockholders;

•

to support and encourage our financial growth and development;

•

to motivate our Named Executive Officers to continually provide excellent performance throughout the year;

•

to ensure continuity of services of Named Executive Officers so that they will contribute to, and be a part of, our long-term success; and

-11-

•

to manage fixed compensation costs through the use of performance and equity-based compensation.

Determination of Compensation for Named Executive Officers

Compensation of chief executive officer. During 2006, the compensation of Mr. Cole, the chairman, president and chief executive officer, was based on Mr. Cole’s employment agreement and the general principles of our executive compensation program. In determining the salary and other forms of compensation for Mr. Cole, the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee (the predecessor of the Compensation Committee that was re-formed as a separate committee in December 2006) took into consideration Mr. Cole’s substantial experience and performance in the industry in general and with us in particular. Also considered were the increased responsibilities of Mr. Cole as a result of our diversification and growth. The Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee believes that Mr. Cole’s overall compensation as our principal executive officer reflects our performance during 2006 and his significant contributions to that performance.

Overall compensation program. Compensation of our executive officers, including the Named Executive Officers, has been determined by the Board of Directors pursuant to recommendations made by the chief executive officer and the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee until December 13, 2006, and thereafter the Compensation Committee, and in accordance with the terms of the respective employment agreements of certain executive officers in effect prior to the re-formation of the committee. The Compensation Committee is responsible for, among other things, reviewing and recommending approval of the compensation of our executive officers; administering our equity incentive and stock option plans; reviewing and making recommendations to the Board of Directors with respect to incentive compensation and equity incentive and stock option plans, and evaluating our chief executive officer’s performance in light of corporate objectives; and setting our chief executive officer’s compensation based on the achievement of corporate objectives.

With respect to the Named Executive Officers, their compensation is based upon what we believe is a competitive base salary in view of our recent change of business strategy and accelerated growth goals. In conjunction with our Compensation Committee, we have assessed our total compensation program, and its components, and believe that it operates well to serve both our goals and the current, short-term and long-term compensation needs of the executive officers. It is our intention to develop in the future a more structured bonus program for all our employees, including our Named Executive Officers based, in part, upon the achievement of performance goals.

Compensation amounts for Named Executive Officers are determined according to the level of seniority and position of the Named Executive Officer. Relatively greater emphasis is typically placed on the equity-based components of compensation so as to put a greater portion of total pay based on Company and individual performance. We believe the combination of a competitive base compensation, coupled with an opportunity to significantly enhance overall individual compensation if individual and Company performance warrant, yields an attractive compensation program that facilitates our recruitment and retention of talented executive personnel.

The total compensation amount for our Named Executive Officers is also established relative to officers at levels above and below them, which we believe rewards them for increased levels of knowledge, experience and responsibility. To create an atmosphere of fairness in our compensation setting, we endeavor to maintain as much parity in compensation as possible among Named Executive Officers and other officers, although we do permit some deviation in individual total compensation amounts to reward particular executives for individual personal achievement and growth.

Base salary. The base salary of each of our Named Executive Officers is fixed pursuant to the terms of their respective employment agreements with us and, when a contract is up for, or otherwise

-12-

considered for, renewal, upon a review of the executive’s abilities, experience and performance, as well as a review of salaries for executives in the marketplace for comparable positions at corporations which either compete with us in our business or of comparable size and scope of operations. The recommendations to the Board of Directors by the Compensation Committee (or, prior to its re-formation, the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee) with respect to base salary are based primarily on informal judgments reasonably believed to be in our best interests. In determining the base salaries of certain of our executives whose employment agreements were up for, or otherwise considered for, renewal, the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee considered our performance and growth plans. Base salaries are used to reward superior individual performance of each Named Executive Officer on a day-to-day basis during the year, and to encourage them to perform at their highest levels. We also use our base salary as an incentive to attract top quality executives and other management employees from other companies. Moreover, base salary (and increases to base salary) are intended to recognize the overall experience, position with us, and expected contributions of each Named Executive Officer to us.

In 2006, the following were contractual increases in the base salaries of our Named Executive Officers as set forth on the table below:

-13-


Named Executive Officer	2005 Base Salary			2006 Base Salary		Change in Base Salary			Percentage of 2005 Base Salary
Neil Cole	$	750,000	⁽¹⁾	$	550,000	$	(200,000	)	(27	)%
David Conn		225,000			275,000		50,000		22	%
Warren Clamen		225,000			275,000		50,000		22	%
Andrew Tarshis		225,000			275,000		50,000		22	%
Deborah Sorell Stehr		215,000			220,000		5,000		2	%

(1)	Includes additional salary of $250,000 paid to Mr. Cole during 2005 pursuant to his employment agreement.

Equity-based awards. We currently make equity awards to our Named Executive Officers pursuant to our 2006 Equity Incentive Plan, which provides for awards in the form of stock options, stock appreciation rights, restricted stock, unrestricted stock, stock units including restricted stock units, and performance awards to eligible persons. The mix of cash and equity-based awards, as well as the types of equity-based awards, granted to our Named Executive Officers varies from year to year. Consideration has been given to various factors, such as the relative merits of cash and equity as a device for retaining and motivating the Named Executive Officers, the practices of other companies, individual performance, an individual’s pay relative to others, contractual commitments pursuant to employment or other agreements, and the value of already-outstanding grants of equity in determining the size and type of equity-based awards to each Named Executive Officer.

All equity-based compensation we issued to our Named Executive Officers in 2006 took the form of restricted stock and stock option grants. In prior years, we typically placed particular emphasis on the grant of stock options. In 2006, we began to change the form of equity compensation to restricted stock primarily because of the increased stock-based compensation expense associated with stock options and similar instruments under SFAS No. 123(R), “Accounting for share-based payment.” This accounting standard, which we adopted as of January 1, 2006, requires us to record as compensation expense the grant date fair value of a stock option over the life of the option.

As described above, we provide a substantial portion of Named Executive Officer compensation in the form of equity awards because the Compensation Committee (and its predecessor, the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee) has determined that such awards serve to encourage our executives to create value for our Company over the long-term, which aligns the interests of Named Executive Officers with those of our stockholders.

Generally, we make equity-based grants to our Named Executive Officers under the following circumstances:

•

initial grants when a Named Executive Officer is hired;

•

annual performance based grants; and

•

retention grants, which are typically made in connection with employment agreement renewals.

An initial grant when an executive officer is hired or otherwise becomes a Named Executive Officer serves to help us to recruit new executives and to reward existing officers upon promotion to higher levels of management. Because these initial grants are structured as an incentive for employment, the amount of these grants may vary from executive to executive depending on the particular

-14-

circumstances of the Named Executive Officer and are usually recommended by the Chief Executive Officer and approved by the appropriate committee. While initial grants of equity awards have been made in prior years, no initial grants were awarded to any of our Named Executive Officers in 2006. Annual, time-vested grants of equity awards, as well as retention grants made in connection with renewals of employment agreements are designed so as to compensate our Named Executive Officers for their contributions to our long-term performance.

Generally, restricted stock and stock option awards granted to Named Executive Officers as either initial or annual performance grants or in connection with employment agreement renewals vest in equal installments over the term of the agreement, or a period determined by the Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee or Compensation Committee, typically beginning on the first anniversary of the date of grant. Restricted stock grants for 2006 were as follows: Warren Clamen – 10,971 shares vesting over a two year period; Andrew Tarshis – 18,461 shares vesting over a three year period; Deborah Sorell Stehr – 9,230 shares vesting over a two year period.

Cash bonuses. To the extent not covered by employment agreements with our executive officers, the Compensation Committee determines bonuses for our executive officers based on our overall performance, profitability, and other qualitative and quantitative measurements, including individual performance goals relating to our budget and financial objectives. In determining the amount of bonuses awarded, the Compensation Committee considers our revenues and profitability for the applicable period and each executive’s contribution to our success. Our chairman, president and chief executive officer has waived receipt of the bonus for 2006 he would have been entitled to under his employment agreement, one Named Executive Officer received a $50,000 cash bonus of which $25,000 was guaranteed and another Named Executive Officer received a $25,000 discretionary bonus.

Post-termination compensation. We have entered into employment agreements with each of the Named Executive Officers. Each of these agreements provides for certain payments and other benefits if the executive’s employment terminates under certain circumstances, including, in the event of a “change in control”. See “Executive Compensation – Narrative to Summary Compensation Table and Plan-Based Awards Table – Employment Agreements” and “Executive Compensation – Potential Payments Upon Termination or Change in Control” for a description of the severance and change in control benefits.

Perquisites. The perquisites provided to our executive officers are described below. All such perquisites are provided in accordance with the executives’ employment agreements. Below is a list of material perquisites, personal benefits and other items of compensation we provided to our Named Executive Officers in 2006, the total amount of each such item paid to all named executive officers and an explanation as to why we chose to pay the item.

-15-


Perquisite, Other Benefit or Other Item of Compensation ⁽¹⁾	Aggregate Amount of This Perquisite Paid to All Named Executive Officers in 2006		Additional Explanation for Offering Certain Perquisites
Car allowances	$	66,612	Serves to defray the cost of owning and operating an automobile often used for business purposes; prevents us from having to own and maintain a fleet of automobiles and is a taxable benefit for the Named Executive Officer.

Corporate Car and Driver	$	44,325

Life Insurance Premiums	$	21,420

(1)	Perquisites are generally granted as part of our executive recruitment and retention efforts.

Other matters. The Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee and the Compensation Committee and Board of Directors did not engage outside compensation consultants for advice in 2006 but did consider available comparable company data in making compensation related decisions in 2006. The Board of Directors has not established a policy for the adjustment of any compensation award or payment if the relevant performance measures on which they are based are restated or adjusted. The Board has not established any security ownership guidelines for executive officers.

Compensation Committee Interlocks and Insider Participation

During the year ended December 31, 2006, none of our Named Executive Officers served on the board of directors or the Compensation Committee of any other entity that has officers that serve on our Board of Directors or on its Compensation Committee or its Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee, which is the committee of our Board whose responsibilities previously included those relating to compensation. In addition, none of the members of our Compensation Committee and Corporate Governance/Nominating Committee were formerly, or during the year ended December 31, 2006, one of our officers or employed by us.

Compensation Committee Report

The Compensation Committee of the Board of Directors has reviewed and discussed with management the Compensation Discussion and Analysis for the year ended December 31, 2006. Based on such reviews and discussions, the committee recommended to the Board that the Compensation Discussion and Analysis be included in the Company’s Annual Report on Form 10-K and in this proxy statement.

NARRATIVE TO SUMMARY COMPENSATION TABLE

AND PLAN-BASED AWARDS TABLE

Employment Agreements

On March 29, 2005, we entered into an employment agreement with Neil Cole, which provides for him to serve as our President and Chief Executive Officer for a term expiring on December 31, 2007, at an annualized base salary of $500,000 in 2005, $550,000 in 2006 and $600,000 in 2007. In addition, Mr. Cole’s employment agreement provided for us to pay him additional salary of $250,000 in four equal installments during 2005, all of which has been paid. Under the employment agreement, for each year in which we meet at least 100% of targeted earnings before interest, taxes, depreciation and amortization of fixed assets and intangible assets, or EBITDA, as determined by our Board of Directors, Mr. Cole is also entitled to a bonus as follows: $100,000 for 2005, $150,000 for 2006 and $200,000 for 2007. Mr. Cole received this bonus for 2005. In addition, Mr. Cole will receive a bonus equal to 5% of the amount, if any, by which our actual EBITDA for a fiscal year exceeds the greater of (a) the targeted EBITDA for that year, and (b) the highest amount of actual EBITDA previously achieved for a fiscal year during the term of his employment agreement, provided that prior negative EBITDA amounts will reduce the actual EBITDA in the year for which the determination is made in determining whether and by how much the amounts set forth in (a) and (b) were exceeded. Mr. Cole is also entitled to customary benefits, including participation in management incentive and benefit plans, reimbursement for automobile expenses, reasonable travel and entertainment expenses and a life insurance policy benefiting his designated beneficiaries in the amount of $5,000,000. The employment agreement provides that Mr. Cole will receive an amount equal to three times his annual compensation, less $100, plus accelerated vesting or payment of deferred compensation, options, stock appreciation rights and any other benefits payable to Mr. Cole, in the event that within twelve months of a “change in control” Mr. Cole is terminated by us without “cause” or if he terminates his agreement for “good reason,” as all such terms are defined in the employment agreement. Pursuant to the agreement, Mr. Cole was also granted immediately exercisable ten-year stock options to purchase 800,000 shares of our Common Stock at $4.62 per share. We have also agreed with Mr. Cole that, if we are sold and immediately thereafter Mr. Cole is no longer employed by us or our successor in the capacity in which he was employed prior to the sale, he will be entitled to a payment equal to 5% of the sale price in the event that sale price is at least $5.00 per share or the equivalent thereof with respect to an asset sale, and Mr. Cole has agreed not to compete with us for a period of twelve months after any sale resulting in such payment to him.

On April 17, 2004, we entered into an employment agreement, subsequently amended on December 29, 2005, with David Conn, which, as amended, provides for him to serve as our Executive Vice President of until May 18, 2008, subject to earlier termination as provided in the agreement. The amended agreement provides for Mr. Conn to receive an annualized base salary of: (i) $250,000 during the period December 29, 2005 until May 17, 2006; (ii) $275,000 during the period May 18, 2006 through May 17, 2007 and (iii) $300,000 during the period May 18, 2007 through May 17, 2008, as well as a guaranteed bonus of $25,000 per year, and a car allowance. He was also granted immediately exercisable ten-year stock options to purchase 100,000 shares of our Common Stock at $10.19 per share. In addition, his employment agreement with us provides that, if, within twelve months of a “change in control,” Mr. Conn’s employment is terminated by us without “cause,” as such terms are defined in his employment agreement, we are obligated to make a lump-sum severance payment to him equal to $100 less than three times his “annualized includable compensation for the base period” (as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986), subject to certain limitations for any “excess parachute payment.” His agreement with us also contains certain non-compete and non solicitation provisions.

Effective March 9, 2005, we entered into an employment agreement, subsequently amended on October 27, 2006, with Warren Clamen, which, as amended, provides for him to serve as our Chief

-20-

Financial Officer until October 27, 2008, subject to earlier termination as specified in the agreement. The employment agreement provides for Mr. Clamen to receive a base salary of $275,000 per year for the year ending October 27, 2007 and no less than $300,000 for the year ending October 27, 2008, plus certain fringe benefits. In addition, he is eligible to participate in any executive bonus program that we have in effect during the term of his employment agreement. Pursuant to his employment agreement, in March 2005, we granted Mr. Clamen ten-year stock options to purchase 200,000 shares of our Common Stock at $5.06 per share, subject to earlier termination under certain conditions if Mr. Clamen ceases to be employed by us, half of which options vested immediately and the other half vested as of June 1, 2005. Pursuant to the amendment in October 2006, we also issued to Mr. Clamen 10,971 shares of our restricted Common Stock, which vest in two equal annual installments commencing on October 27, 2007. The amended agreement provides that Mr. Clamen will receive an amount equal to three times his annual compensation; less $100, plus accelerated vesting or payment of deferred compensation, options, stock appreciation rights and any other benefits payable to Mr. Clamen, in the event that, within twelve months of a “change of control,” Mr. Clamen’s employment is terminated by us without “cause” as such terms are defined in the amended agreement. His employment agreement also provides for Mr. Clamen to receive certain severance payments if we terminate the agreement other than for “cause” as defined in the agreement.

On September 22, 2006, we entered into a new employment agreement with Andrew Tarshis, which provides for him to serve as our Senior Vice President and General Counsel until September 22, 2009 and provides for him to receive an annual base salary of no less than $275,000 during the first year of the term and $300,000 during the second and third years of the term. Pursuant to his employment agreement, we also issued to Mr. Tarshis 18,461 shares of our restricted Common Stock, which vest in three equal annual installments commencing on the first year anniversary of the agreement. Under the agreement, Mr. Tarshis is also eligible for a bonus consistent with other executive officers, as well as customary benefits, including participation in management incentive and benefit plans, a monthly car allowance of $1,500 and reasonable business related travel and entertainment expenses. In addition, his employment agreement with us provides that, if, within twelve months of a “change in control,” Mr. Tarshis’s employment is terminated by us without “cause” or Mr. Tarshis terminates his employment with us for “good reason,” as all such terms are defined in his employment agreement, we are obligated to make a lump-sum severance payment to him equal to $100 less than three times his “annualized includable compensation for the base period” (as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986), subject to certain limitations for any “excess parachute payment” plus accelerated vesting of the 18,461 shares of restricted stock issued to him. His agreement with us also contains certain non-compete and non-solicitation provisions.

On October 28, 2005, we entered into an employment agreement, subsequently amended on September 22, 2006, with Deborah Sorell Stehr, which, as amended, provides for her to serve as our Senior Vice President—Business Affairs and Licensing until December 31, 2008 and provides for her to receive a base salary for performance based upon a four-day work week, as follows: (a) during the period from January 1, 2006 through December 31, 2006, at the annual rate of not less than $220,000, (b) during the period from January 1, 2007 through December 31, 2007, at an annual rate of not less than $230,000, and (c) during the period from January 1, 2008 through December 31, 2008 at the annual rate of not less than $250,000. Pursuant to her employment agreement, in October 2005, we granted Ms. Stehr immediately exercisable ten-year stock options to purchase 60,000 shares of our Common Stock at $8.03 per share, and, pursuant to its amendment, in September 2006 we also issued to Ms. Stehr 9,230 shares of our restricted Common Stock, which vest in two equal annual installments commencing on December 31, 2007. Under the amended agreement, Ms. Stehr remains eligible for a bonus consistent with other executive officers, as well as customary benefits, including participation in management incentive and benefit plans, a monthly car allowance of $1,500 and reasonable travel and entertainment expenses. The agreement provides that Ms. Stehr will receive an amount equal to three times her annual compensation,

less $100, plus accelerated vesting or payment of deferred compensation, options, stock appreciation rights and any other benefits payable to Ms. Stehr, in the event that, within twelve months of a “change of control,” Ms. Stehr’s employment is terminated by us without “cause” or Ms. Stehr terminates her employment agreement with us for “good reason,” as all such terms are defined in the agreement.

We entered into an employment agreement, effective July 22, 2005, with William Sweedler pursuant to which he served as our Executive Vice President. His employment agreement also provided for him to serve as President of our Joe Boxer division until July 22, 2009, subject to earlier termination as specified in the agreement. The employment agreement provided for Mr. Sweedler to receive an annual base salary of $400,000 and additional salary of $50,000 for the first year of his employment term, an annual base salary of $450,000 during the second year of his employment term, $500,000 for the third year and $550,000 for the fourth year of his employment term. In addition, the agreement provided for Mr. Sweedler to receive percentage of revenue based royalty bonuses if the annual revenues generated by our Joe Boxer division exceeded certain specified amounts for the periods indicated in his employment agreement. The employment agreement provided that Mr. Sweedler would receive an amount equal to $100 less than three times his annual compensation in the event that within twelve months of a “change of control,” as defined in the employment agreement, Mr. Sweedler was terminated by without “cause” or if Mr. Sweedler terminated his agreement for “good reason” (with one exception), as such terms were defined in the employment agreement. Pursuant to the employment agreement, Mr. Sweedler was also granted a ten-year option to purchase 1,425,000 shares of our Common Stock at $8.81 per share, of which 225,000 shares vested immediately and 1.2 million shares were to vest only if the Joe Boxer division met certain revenue goals. On June 8, 2006, we and Mr. Sweedler entered into an agreement (the “Sweedler Termination Agreement”), which provided for the termination of the employment agreement between us and Mr. Sweedler, the resignation of Mr. Sweedler as our Executive Vice President, President of our Joe Boxer Division and a member of our Board of Directors, and the termination of the approximately 1,200,000 unvested options previously issued to Mr. Sweedler in connection with the employment agreement. Under the Sweedler Termination Agreement, Mr. Sweedler was employed on a part-time basis to assist us during a transition period of ending in September 2006, after which we entered into a consulting agreement with Mr. Sweedler whereby he will perform services for us with respect to finding, negotiating or otherwise advising us regarding potential acquisition opportunities. Under the consulting agreement, we granted to Mr. Sweedler ten-year warrants, with certain registration rights, to purchase 400,000 shares of our Common Stock at an exercise price of $8.81 per share, vesting at the rate of one-third, one-third, one-third upon the closing of each of the first three Qualified Company Acquisitions (as defined in the consulting agreement) and pay him a fee of approximately $333,333 upon the closing of each of such Qualified Company Acquisitions.

POTENTIAL PAYMENTS UPON TERMINATION OR CHANGE IN CONTROL

As noted under “– Narrative to Summary Compensation Table and Plan-Based Awards Table – Employment Agreements”, we have entered into employment agreements with each of our Named Executive Officers. These agreements provide for certain payments and other benefits if a Named Executive Officer’s employment with us is terminated under circumstances specified in his or her respective agreement, including a “change in control” of the Company. A Named Executive Officer’s rights upon the termination of his or her employment will depend upon the circumstances of the termination.

The receipt of the payments and benefits to the Named Executive Officers under their employment agreements are generally conditioned upon their complying with customary non-solicitation, non-competition, confidentiality, non-interference and non-disparagement provisions. By the terms of such agreements, the executives acknowledge that a breach of some or all of the covenants described herein will entitle us to injunctive relief restraining the commission or continuance of any such breach, in addition to any other available remedies.

The following table provides the term of such covenants following the termination of employment as it relates to each Named Executive Officer:

-25-


Covenant	Neil Cole	David Conn	Warren Clamen	Deborah Sorell Stehr	Andrew Tarshis
Confidentiality	Infinite duration for trade secrets and two years otherwise	Infinite duration for trade secrets and two years otherwise	Infinite duration	None	Infinite duration

The table below includes a description and the amount of estimated payments and benefits that would be provided by us (or our successor) to each of the Named Executive Officers under each employment agreement, assuming that a termination circumstance occurred as of December 31, 2006 and a “change in control” had not occurred:

Change in Control Payments

The employment agreements with Mr. Cole, Ms. Stehr and Mr. Tarshis also provide that, if, within twelve months of a “change in control,” their employment is terminated by us without “cause” or they terminate their employment with us for “good reason,” as all such terms are defined in each employment agreement, we are obligated to make a lump-sum severance payment to each such Named Executive Officer equal to $100 less than three times the Named Executive Officer’s “annualized includable compensation for the base period” (as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986).

The employment agreements (as amended) with Mr. Clamen and Mr. Conn also provide that, if, within twelve months of a “change in control,” their employment is terminated by us without “cause” as all such terms are defined in each employment agreement, we are obligated to make a lump-sum severance payment to each such Named Executive Officer equal to $100 less than three times the Named Executive Officer’s “annualized includable compensation for the base period” (as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986).

Under the circumstances described above, all of the Named Executive Officers are entitled to an accelerated vesting and payment of stock options and restricted stock awards granted to that Named Executive Officer. However, the sum of any lump sum payments, the value of any accelerated vesting of stock options and restricted stock awards, and the value of any other benefits payable to the Named Executive Officer may not equal or exceed an amount that would constitute an “excess parachute payment” (as defined in Section 280G of the Internal Revenue Code of 1986).

The following table quantifies the estimated maximum amount of payments and benefits under our employment agreements and agreements relating to awards granted under our equity incentive and stock option plans to which the Named Executive Officers would be entitled upon termination of employment if we terminated their employment without cause within twelve (12) months following a “change in control” of the Company that (by assumption) occurred on December 31, 2006.

The same securities may be beneficially owned by more than one person.

PROPOSAL I

APPROVAL TO ADOPT THE AMENDMENT TO ICONIX’S CERTIFICATE OF

INCORPORATION TO INCREASE OUR AUTHORIZED COMMON STOCK

The Board of Directors has adopted, subject to stockholder approval, an amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation to increase the number of shares of Common Stock that Iconix has authority to issue from 75,000,000 to 150,000,000 shares and, consequently, increase the total number of shares of all classes of capital stock that Iconix has authority to issue from 80,000,000 to 155,000,000 shares.

Reasons for the Increase in Authorized Shares of Common Stock

Of the 75,000,000 shares of Common Stock currently authorized, as of May 31, 2007, 56,892,995 shares have been issued and are outstanding, approximately 13,200,000 shares are issuable upon exercise of outstanding options, warrants and other convertible securities, and approximately 1,905,000 shares are available for issuance upon exercise of options or awards available for grant under our existing stock option and incentive stock plans. We, therefore, only have approximately 3,002,000 unreserved shares of Common Stock available for future issuance.

If our stockholders approve the proposed amendment to our Certificate of Incorporation, the additional authorized shares would be available for issuance for any proper corporate purpose. The Board of Directors considers the increase in authorized shares of Common Stock necessary in order to provide flexibility for potential acquisitions, capital raising and future capital requirements and for use in current and future equity compensation plans. Iconix intends to seek to continue to expand its operations which will require additional capital. Such expansion may be accomplished through acquisitions for which Iconix may choose to issue equity securities as all or a portion of the purchase price of the acquisition. In addition, Iconix may seek to raise additional capital in the future through the issuance of equity securities, such as Common Stock or securities convertible into Common Stock. Although Iconix continuously evaluates potential acquisition candidates, Iconix does not, at this time, have any immediate plans, commitments or understandings with respect to any acquisitions. Other than shares that may be issued under our existing stock option and incentive stock plans or pursuant to outstanding convertible securities, Iconix has no immediate plans, commitments or understandings with respect to the issuance of additional shares of Common Stock for any purpose. Approval by the stockholders of the increase in authorized shares of Common Stock at the annual meeting will avoid the need to call and hold additional special meetings for this purpose, thereby enabling Iconix to act quickly when potential acquisition or financing transactions arise.

-30-

Once authorized, the additional shares of Iconix Common Stock may be issued with approval of the Board of Directors but without further approval of the stockholders unless stockholder approval is required by applicable law, rule or regulation. Accordingly, this solicitation may be the only opportunity for Iconix stockholders to approve these financings, acquisitions, benefit plans and other corporate transactions.

This proposal could, under certain circumstances, have an anti-takeover effect. For example, if Iconix were the subject of a hostile takeover attempt, it could try to impede the takeover by issuing shares of Common Stock, thereby diluting the voting power of the other outstanding shares and increasing the potential cost of the takeover.

PROPOSAL II

RATIFICATION OF THE

APPOINTMENT OF INDEPENDENT REGISTERED PUBLIC ACCOUNTANTS

BDO Seidman, LLP has audited and reported upon our financial statements for the fiscal year ended December 31, 2006. The Audit Committee of the Board of Directors has re-appointed BDO Seidman, LLP as our independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007. Although stockholder approval of the appointment of BDO Seidman, LLP is not required by law, the Audit Committee and the Board of Directors believe that it is advisable to give stockholders an opportunity to ratify this appointment. Furthermore, although the appointment of BDO Seidman, LLP is being submitted for stockholder ratification, the Audit Committee reserves the right, even after ratification by stockholders, to change the appointment of BDO Seidman, LLP our independent registered public accountants, at any time during the 2007 fiscal year, if it deems such change to be in our best interest. A representative of BDO Seidman, LLP is expected to be present at the Annual Meeting with the opportunity to make a statement if he or she desires to do so and is expected to be available to respond to appropriate questions.

In addition to retaining BDO Seidman, LLP to audit our financial statements, we engage BDO Seidman, LLP from time to time to perform other services.

Audit Fees. The aggregate fees billed by BDO Seidman, LLP for professional services rendered for the audit of our annual financial statements, internal controls over financial reporting, reviews of the financial statements included in our Forms 10-Q, and consents related to SEC registration statements for fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005 and comfort letter and other capital raising activities for fiscal 2006, totaled approximately $990,000, and $394,000 for fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005, respectively.

There were approximately $105,000 and $168,700 aggregate fees billed by BDO Seidman, LLP for assurance and related services that are reasonably related to the performance of the audit or review of our financial statements for fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005, respectively, and that are

The aggregate fees billed by BDO Seidman, LLP for professional services rendered for tax advice and tax planning, for fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005, were $0 and $3,000, respectively.

All Other Fees. There were no fees billed by BDO Seidman, LLP for products and services, other than the services described in the paragraphs captions “Audit Fees”, “Audit-Related Fees”, and “Tax Fees” above for fiscal 2006 and fiscal 2005.

The Audit Committee has established its pre-approval policies and procedures, pursuant to which the Audit Committee approved the foregoing audit services provided by BDO Seidman, LLP in fiscal 2005. Consistent with the Audit Committee’s responsibility for engaging our independent auditors, all audit and permitted non-audit services require pre-approval by the Audit Committee. The full Audit Committee approves proposed services and fee estimates for these services. The Audit Committee chairperson or their designee has been designated by the Audit Committee to approve any services arising during the year that were not pre-approved by the Audit Committee. Services approved by the Audit Committee chairperson are communicated to the full Audit Committee at its next regular meeting and the Audit Committee reviews services and fees for the fiscal year at each such meeting. Pursuant to these procedures, the Audit Committee approved all the foregoing audit services and permissible non-audit services provided by BDO Seidman, LLP

Recommendation

The Board of Directors recommends that you vote “for” approval of Proposal II and the ratification of the appointment of BDO Seidman, LLP as our independent registered public accountants for the fiscal year ending December 31, 2007.
