Accounting Policies [Abstract] |
Significant Accounting Policies [Text Block] | SUMMARY OF SIGNIFICANT ACCOUNTING POLICIES Principles of consolidation The accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements include historical financial statements of, and transactions applicable to, the Company and reflect its financial position, results of operations and cash flows. The Company has interests in an Emirati business venture and in a Kuwaiti business venture with Majid al Futtaim Fashion L.L.C. (“MAF”) and in a United States of America (the “U.S.”) business venture with Dixar L.L.C. (“Dixar”), each of which meets the definition of a variable interest entity (“VIE”). The purpose of the business ventures with MAF is to operate stores in the United Arab Emirates and Kuwait and the purpose of the business venture with Dixar is to hold the intellectual property related to the Social Tourist brand. The Company is deemed to be the primary beneficiary of these VIEs; therefore, the Company has consolidated the operating results, assets and liabilities of these VIEs, with the noncontrolling interests’ (“NCI”) portions of net (loss) income presented as net income attributable to NCI on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income and the NCI portion of stockholders’ equity presented as NCI on the Condensed Consolidated Balance Sheets. Fiscal year The Company’s fiscal year ends on the Saturday closest to January 31. This typically results in a fifty-two week year, but occasionally gives rise to an additional week, resulting in a fifty-three week year. Fiscal years are designated in the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements and notes, as well as the remainder of this Quarterly Report on Form 10-Q, by the calendar year in which the fiscal year commences. All references herein to the Company’s fiscal years are as follows:
Fiscal year |  | Year ended/ ending |  | Number of weeks
Fiscal 2021 |  | January 29, 2022 |  | 52
Fiscal 2022 |  | January 28, 2023 |  | 52
Fiscal 2023 |  | February 3, 2024 |  | 53
Interim financial statements The Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements as of October 29, 2022, and for the thirteen and thirty-nine week periods ended October 29, 2022 and October 30, 2021, are unaudited and are presented pursuant to the rules and regulations of the Securities and Exchange Commission (the “SEC”) for interim consolidated financial statements. Accordingly, the Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements should be read in conjunction with the Consolidated Financial Statements and notes thereto contained in A&F’s Annual Report on Form 10-K for Fiscal 2021 filed with the SEC on March 28, 2022 (the “Fiscal 2021 Form 10-K”). The January 29, 2022 consolidated balance sheet data, included herein, were derived from audited consolidated financial statements, but do not include all disclosures required by accounting principles generally accepted in the U.S. (“GAAP”). In the opinion of management, the accompanying Condensed Consolidated Financial Statements reflect all adjustments (which are of a normal recurring nature) necessary to state fairly, in all material respects, the financial position, results of operations and cash flows for the interim periods, but are not necessarily indicative of the results of operations to be anticipated for Fiscal 2022. During the first quarter of 2022, the Company reclassified flagship store exit benefits into stores and distribution expense on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Operations and Comprehensive (Loss) Income. There were no changes to operating (loss) income or net (loss) income. Prior period amounts have been reclassified to conform to current year’s presentation. Use of estimates The preparation of financial statements, in conformity with GAAP, requires management to make estimates and assumptions that affect the reported amounts of assets and liabilities and disclosure of contingent assets and liabilities at the date of the financial statements and the reported amounts of net sales and expenses during the reporting period. Due to the inherent uncertainty involved with estimates, actual results may differ. Additionally, these estimates and assumptions may change as a result of the impact of global economic conditions such as the uncertainty regarding a slowing economy, rising interest rates, continued inflation, fluctuation in foreign exchange rates, the coronavirus ("COVID-19") pandemic, and the ongoing conflict in Ukraine and result in material impacts to the Company’s consolidated financial statements in future reporting periods. Recent accounting pronouncements The Company reviews recent accounting pronouncements on a quarterly basis and has excluded discussion of those not applicable to the Company and those that did not have, or are not expected to have, a material impact on the Company’s consolidated financial statements. Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows reconciliation The following table provides a reconciliation of cash and equivalents and restricted cash and equivalents to the amounts shown on the Condensed Consolidated Statements of Cash Flows:
