| DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTS             | DERIVATIVE FINANCIAL INSTRUMENTSThe Company has exposure to changes in foreign currency exchange rates related to certain anticipated cash flows principally associated with certain international inventory purchases and certain intercompany transactions. The Company periodically uses foreign currency forward exchange contracts to hedge against a portion of this exposure. The Company also has exposure to interest rate volatility related to its senior secured term loan facilities. The Company has entered into interest rate swap agreements to hedge against a portion of this exposure. The Company had also entered into an interest rate cap agreement, which expired on February 17, 2016. Please see Note 8, “Debt,” for a further discussion of the Company’s 2014 facilities and these agreements. The Company records the foreign currency forward exchange contracts and interest rate contracts at fair value in its Consolidated Balance Sheets, and does not net the related assets and liabilities. Changes in fair value of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts associated with certain international inventory purchases and the interest rate contracts that are designated as effective hedging instruments (collectively referred to as “cash flow hedges”) are recorded in equity as a component of accumulated other comprehensive loss (“AOCL”). The cash flows from such hedges are presented in the same category in the Company’s Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows as the items being hedged. No amounts were excluded from effectiveness testing. There was no ineffective portion of cash flow hedges during the thirteen weeks endedMay 1, 2016 and May 3, 2015. In addition, the Company records immediately in earnings changes in the fair value of hedges that are not designated as effective hedging instruments (“undesignated contracts”), including all of the foreign currency forward exchange contracts related to intercompany loans that are not of a long-term investment nature. Any gains and losses that are immediately recognized in earnings on such contracts related to intercompany loans are largely offset by the remeasurement of the underlying intercompany loan balances. The Company does not use derivative financial instruments for trading or speculative purposes.The following table summarizes the fair value and presentation of the Company’s derivative financial instruments in its Consolidated Balance Sheets: (In millions)Asset Derivatives (Classified in Other Current Assets and Other Assets)Liability Derivatives (Classified in Accrued Expenses and Other Liabilities) 5/1/16 1/31/16 5/3/15 5/1/16 1/31/16 5/3/15Contracts designated as cash flow hedges:           Foreign currency forward exchange contracts (inventory purchases)$1.0 $24.9 $58.1 $34.0 $1.7 $8.1Interest rate contracts— — 0.5 18.4 20.6 13.1Total contracts designated as cash flow hedges1.0 24.9 58.6 52.4 22.3 21.2Undesignated contracts:           Foreign currency forward exchange contracts (principally intercompany transactions)0.3 19.3 16.4 0.6 0.1 0.3Total undesignated contracts0.3 19.3 16.4 0.6 0.1 0.3Total$1.3 $44.2 $75.0 $53.0 $22.4 $21.5At May 1, 2016, the notional amount outstanding of foreign currency forward exchange contracts was $943.2 million.

In addition, a net loss in AOCL for interest rate contracts at May 1, 2016 of $12.1 million is estimated to be reclassified to interest expense within the next 12 months.The following table summarizes the effect of the Company’s foreign currency forward exchange undesignated contracts:(In millions) (Loss) Gain Recognized in IncomeThirteen Weeks Ended Location 5/1/16 5/3/15Foreign currency forward exchange contracts (principally intercompany transactions) Selling, general and administrative expenses $(3.8) $2.7The Company had no derivative financial instruments with credit risk-related contingent features underlying the related contracts as of May 1, 2016. |
