RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE	9 Months Ended

Notes to Financial Statements [Abstract]
RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE	RECENT ACCOUNTING GUIDANCE Recently Adopted Accounting Guidance The Financial Accounting Standards Board (“FASB”) issued in May 2014 guidance that superseded most of the previous revenue recognition requirements. The core principle of the guidance is that an entity should recognize revenue to depict the transfer of promised goods or services to customers in an amount that reflects the consideration to which the entity expects to be entitled in exchange for those goods or services. New disclosures about the nature, amount, timing and uncertainty of revenue and cash flows arising from contracts with customers are also required under the new guidance. The majority of the Company’s revenue is generated from sales of finished products, which continues to be recognized when control of the product is transferred to the customer. Under the guidance, the Company’s royalty and advertising revenue continues to be recognized over time, however, the timing of the recognition of revenue among quarters may be affected for certain of the Company’s license agreements. For loyalty programs, the Company previously recorded costs associated with such programs ratably as a cost of goods sold based on enrolled customers’ spending. Under the guidance, the revenue associated with loyalty awards is deferred initially when the loyalty awards are earned, and recognized, along with the related cost of goods sold, as the loyalty awards are redeemed or, if not redeemed, as they expire. Revenue for the unredeemed portion of gift cards, which was previously recognized when the likelihood of redemption became remote, is now recognized under the guidance proportionately over the estimated customer redemption period, subject to the constraint that it must be probable that a significant reversal of revenue will not occur. The Company adopted the guidance in the first quarter of 2018 by applying a modified retrospective approach to all contracts. As a result of the adoption, the Company recognized the cumulative effect of initially applying the guidance as a $1.9 million decrease to opening retained earnings with offsetting increases to deferred revenue and accrued expenses of $1.5 million and $0.4 million, respectively. Additionally, at the time of adoption, the Company reclassified the liabilities related to loyalty awards and the unredeemed portion of gift cards of $7.2 million and $6.9 million, respectively, from accrued expenses to deferred revenue in the Company’s Consolidated Balance Sheet. Otherwise, the adoption of the guidance did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as of and for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended November 4, 2018, including the Company’s Consolidated Income Statement and Consolidated Balance Sheet, or on any individual caption therein. Please see Note 2, “Revenue,” for further discussion. The FASB issued in January 2016 an update to accounting guidance for the recognition and measurement of financial instruments. The update requires equity investments that are not accounted for under the equity method of accounting to be measured at fair value with changes recognized in net income and revises certain presentation and disclosure requirements. The Company adopted this update in the first quarter of 2018 and it did not have any impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements as the Company does not currently have such investments. The FASB issued in August 2016 an update to accounting guidance to clarify and provide specific guidance on how certain cash receipts and cash payments are classified in the statement of cash flows with the objective of reducing existing diversity in practice with respect to these items. Among the types of cash flows addressed are payments for costs related to debt prepayments or extinguishments, payments of contingent consideration after a business combination and distributions from equity method investees. The Company adopted this update in the first quarter of 2018 on a retrospective basis. As a result, contingent purchase price payments to Mr. Calvin Klein of $37.7 million were reclassified from investing activities to operating activities, consistent with the current period classification under the update, and contingent purchase price payments related to the reacquisition of the rights in India to the TOMMY HILFIGER trademarks of $0.8 million were reclassified from investing activities to financing activities in the Company’s Consolidated Statement of Cash Flows for the thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2017. Otherwise, the adoption of the update did not have a material impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, as the Company’s historical presentation of cash receipts and cash payments has been consistent with this guidance. The FASB issued in October 2016 an update to accounting guidance to simplify income tax accounting on intercompany sales or transfers of assets other than inventory. Previous guidance required entities to defer the income tax effect of intercompany transfers of assets until the asset was sold to an outside party or otherwise recognized. The update requires companies to recognize immediately in their income statement the income tax effects of an intercompany sale or transfer of an asset other than inventory. The Company adopted this update in the first quarter of 2018 using a modified retrospective approach, resulting in a cumulative-effect adjustment to decrease opening retained earnings by $8.0 million, with a corresponding decrease in other assets. The FASB issued in November 2016 an update to accounting guidance to clarify and provide specific guidance on the cash flow classification and presentation of changes in restricted cash. The update requires that restricted cash be included with cash and cash equivalents when reconciling the beginning of period and end of period total amounts shown in the statement of cash flows. The Company adopted this update in the first quarter of 2018 and it did not have any impact on the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows, as the Company does not currently have any restricted cash. The FASB issued in January 2017 an update to accounting guidance to revise the definition of a business. The update requires that when substantially all of the fair value of the gross assets acquired (or disposed of) is concentrated in a single identifiable asset or a group of similar identifiable assets, the set of assets would not represent a business. Also, in order to be considered a business, an acquisition would have to include an input and a substantive process that together significantly contribute to the ability to produce outputs. Under the update, fewer sets of assets are expected to be considered businesses. The Company adopted this update in the first quarter of 2018. This updated guidance was applied to applicable transactions after the adoption date and did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The FASB issued in March 2017 an update to accounting guidance to change the income statement presentation of net periodic pension and postretirement benefit cost. The update requires employers to report the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost in the same income statement line item as other compensation costs arising from services rendered by the employees during the applicable period. The other components of net periodic benefit cost are required to be presented in the income statement separately from the service component and outside a subtotal of income from operations, if one is presented. Additionally, only the service cost component of net periodic benefit cost is eligible for capitalization, when applicable. The Company adopted this update in the first quarter of 2018 on a retrospective basis. As a result, the Company reclassified $(2.2) million and $2.4 million from SG&A expenses to non-service related pension and postretirement (income) cost within income before interest and taxes in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statements for the thirteen and thirty-nine weeks ended October 29, 2017, respectively. Otherwise, the adoption of the update did not have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Accounting Guidance Issued But Not Adopted as of November 4, 2018 The FASB issued in February 2016 new guidance on leases. The new guidance, among other changes, will require lessees to recognize a right-of-use asset and a lease liability in the balance sheet for most leases, but retains an expense recognition model similar to the current guidance. The lease liability will be measured at the present value of the lease payments over the lease term. The right-of-use asset will be measured at the lease liability amount, adjusted for lease prepayments, lease incentives received and the lessee’s initial direct costs (e.g., commissions). The guidance also requires additional quantitative and qualitative disclosures. The guidance will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019, with early adoption permitted. Entities are required to adopt the guidance using a modified retrospective approach, with the option to apply the guidance either at the beginning of the earliest period presented or at the beginning of the period in which it is adopted. The Company formed a global, cross-functional project team to implement the new guidance and analyze its impacts. The Company has collected relevant data for all of its leases and is implementing changes needed to its policies, processes and internal controls as a result of the guidance. To facilitate the adoption and the related reporting requirements, the Company selected a global lease management and accounting software, which has been implemented in North America and is in the final stages of testing internationally. While the Company’s quantification of the impact of the guidance is still in process, it will result in a significant increase to the Company’s other assets and other liabilities, but is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s results of operations. The Company will adopt the guidance in the first quarter of 2019 using the modified retrospective approach applied as of the period of adoption, with no restatement of prior periods. The FASB issued in August 2017 an update to accounting guidance to simplify the application of hedge accounting in certain situations and allow companies to better align their hedge accounting with their risk management activities. The update eliminates the requirement to separately measure and report hedge ineffectiveness and requires companies to recognize all elements of hedge accounting that impact earnings in the same income statement line as the hedged item. The update also simplifies the requirements for hedge documentation and effectiveness assessments and amends the presentation and disclosure requirements. The update will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2019, with early adoption permitted. Entities are required to adopt the update using a modified retrospective approach, except for the presentation and disclosure guidance, which is required to be applied on a prospective basis. The adoption of the update is not expected to have a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. The FASB issued in January 2018 guidance related to the accounting for tax on the GILTI provisions of the Tax Legislation. The GILTI provisions impose a tax on foreign income in excess of a deemed return on tangible assets of foreign corporations for tax years beginning after December 31, 2017. The guidance indicates that companies must make a policy election to either record deferred taxes for basis differences expected to reverse as a result of the GILTI provisions in future years or treat any taxes on GILTI inclusions as period costs when incurred. The Company is currently in the process of analyzing the effects of the GILTI provisions and plans to make an accounting policy election within the permitted measurement period. The FASB issued in August 2018 an update to accounting guidance related to implementation costs incurred in a cloud computing arrangement that is a service contract. The update aligns the requirements for capitalizing implementation costs incurred under such arrangements with the requirements for capitalizing costs incurred to develop or obtain internal-use software. The update will be effective for the Company in the first quarter of 2020, with early adoption permitted. Entities have the option of adopting the guidance using either a prospective or retrospective approach. The Company intends to adopt the update in the first quarter of 2019 using the prospective approach. The Company will apply the update to applicable implementation costs incurred after the adoption date and the impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements will depend on the nature and amount of such costs.
