| REDEEMABLE NON-CONTROLLING INTEREST                           | REDEEMABLE NON-CONTROLLING INTERESTCK India was consolidated in the Company’s financial statements during 2013. During the first quarter of 2014, Arvind Limited, the Company’s joint venture partner in TH India, purchased the Company’s prior joint venture partners’ shares in CK India and, as a result of the entry into a shareholders agreement with different governing arrangements between the Company and Arvind Limited as compared to the arrangements with the prior minority shareholders, the Company no longer is deemed to hold a controlling interest in the joint venture. CK India was deconsolidated as a result and the Company began reporting its 51% interest as an equity method investment in the first quarter of 2014. The Company recognized a net gain of $5.9 million in connection with the deconsolidation of CK India during the first quarter of 2014 that was recorded in selling, general and administrative expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statements. The gain was measured as the difference between the fair value of the Company’s 51% interest in CK India and the carrying value. The fair value of CK India was determined by a third party valuation firm using the discounted cash flow method, based on net sales projections for the Calvin Klein business in India and was discounted using a rate of return that accounted for the relative risks of the estimated future cash flows.
