| GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETS         | GOODWILL AND OTHER INTANGIBLE ASSETSThe acquisition of Warnaco has significantly impacted the way the Company and its chief operating decision maker manage and analyze the Company’s operating results. As such, the Company has changed its reportable segments. Please see Note 18, “Segment Data,” for a further discussion. This change in segments resulted in a reallocation of goodwill amongst some of the Company’s reportable segments. Prior period data has been retrospectively adjusted to reflect this reallocation. The changes in the carrying amount of goodwill for the twenty-six weeks endedAugust 4, 2013, by segment, were as follows: Calvin Klein North America Calvin Klein International Tommy Hilfiger North America Tommy Hilfiger International Heritage Brands Wholesale TotalBalance as of February 3, 2013           Goodwill, gross $207,083 $201,542 $198,501 $1,196,619 $155,142 $1,958,887Accumulated impairment losses — — — — — —Goodwill, net 207,083 201,542 198,501 1,196,619 155,142 1,958,887Contingent purchase price payments to Mr. Calvin Klein13,406 9,316 — — — 22,722Goodwill from acquisition of Warnaco443,419 878,786 — — 129,274 1,451,479Currency translation (1,930) (23,954) — (38,715) (487) (65,086)Balance as of August 4, 2013           Goodwill, gross 661,978 1,065,690 198,501 1,157,904 283,929 3,368,002Accumulated impairment losses — — — — — —Goodwill, net $661,978 $1,065,690 $198,501 $1,157,904 $283,929 $3,368,002The Company is required to make contingent purchase price payments to Mr. Calvin Klein in connection with the Company’s acquisition in 2003 of all of the issued and outstanding stock of Calvin Klein, Inc. and certain affiliated companies (collectively, “Calvin Klein”). Such payments are based on 1.15% of total worldwide net sales, as defined in the acquisition agreement (as amended), of products bearing any of the Calvin Klein brands and are required to be made with respect to sales made through February 12, 2018. A significant portion of the sales on which the payments to Mr. Klein are made are wholesale sales by the Company and its licensees and other partners to retailers.The Company’s intangible assets consisted of the following: 8/4/13 2/3/13 7/29/12 GrossCarryingAmount AccumulatedAmortization Net GrossCarryingAmount AccumulatedAmortization Net GrossCarryingAmount AccumulatedAmortization NetIntangible assets subject to amortization:                 Customer relationships(1)$333,064 $(54,411) $278,653 $190,383 $(41,158) $149,225 $171,583 $(35,213) $136,370Covenants not to compete2,220 (2,220) — 2,220 (2,220) — 2,220 (2,190) 30Order backlog(1)128,196 (122,504) 5,692 32,287 (32,287) — 32,287 (32,287) —Reacquired license rights(1)566,160 (12,904) 553,256 8,565 (3,636) 4,929 5,921 (3,163) 2,758Total intangible assets subject to amortization1,029,640 (192,039) 837,601 233,455 (79,301) 154,154 212,011 (72,853) 139,158                  Intangible assets not subject to amortization:                 Tradenames(1)2,975,764 — 2,975,764 2,413,809 — 2,413,809 2,332,811 — 2,332,811Perpetual license rights(1)206,336 — 206,336 — — — — — —Reacquired perpetual license rights12,617 — 12,617 13,042 — 13,042 11,774 — 11,774Total intangible assets not subject to amortization3,194,717 — 3,194,717 2,426,851 — 2,426,851 2,344,585 — 2,344,585Total intangible assets$4,224,357 $(192,039) $4,032,318 $2,660,306 $(79,301) $2,581,005 $2,556,596 $(72,853) $2,483,743(1) Change from February 3, 2013 to August 4, 2013 primarily relates to intangible assets recorded in connection with the acquisition of Warnaco.
