| ASSETS HELD FOR SALE                | ASSETS HELD FOR SALEDuring 2015, one of the Company’s European subsidiaries entered into an agreement to sell a building in Amsterdam, the Netherlands. The Company classified the building as held for sale in the fourth quarter of 2015 and ceased recording depreciation on the building at that time. The Company completed the sale of the building in the second quarter of 2016 for proceeds of €15.0 million (approximately $16.7 million based on the exchange rate in effect on that date) and recorded a gain of $1.5 million, which represented the excess of the proceeds, less costs to sell, over the carrying value on that date. The gain was recorded in SG&A expenses in the Company’s Consolidated Income Statement during the second quarter of 2016 and was included in the Calvin Klein International Segment. |
