| INCOME TAXES                                 | INCOME TAXES  The effective income tax rates for the thirteen weeks endedAugust 4, 2013 and July 29, 2012 were 161.1% and 28.0%, respectively. The effective income tax rates for the twenty-six weeks endedAugust 4, 2013 and July 29, 2012 were (174.0)% and 26.4%, respectively. The effective income tax rate for the thirteen weeks ended August 4, 2013 was higher than the United States statutory rate due to non-recurring discrete items related to the Warnaco integration and state and local taxes, partially offset by the benefit of the overall lower tax rates in international jurisdictions where the Company files tax returns.The effective income tax rate for the twenty-six weeks ended August 4, 2013 was lower than the United States statutory rate due to the net impact of non-recurring discrete items related to the Warnaco integration, state and local taxes and the benefit of the overall lower tax rates in international jurisdictions where the Company files tax returns. Since the Company had a pre-tax loss in the twenty-six weeks endedAugust 4, 2013, the discrete tax expense caused the effective income tax rate to be negative.The effective income tax rates for the thirteen and twenty-six weeks endedJuly 29, 2012 were lower than the United States statutory rate due to the benefit of the overall lower tax rates in international jurisdictions where the Company files tax returns and the continuation of the tax synergies resulting from the Tommy Hilfiger acquisition, partially offset by state and local taxes. |
