Peter Jensen and Jeremy Scott are relocating from London, the Olsen twins stage their first presentation for the row, and the Kardashian sisters premier their Bebe range.

Marc Jacobs is a New York regular, of course, but the designer has announced that he will be livestreaming his show (February 15 at 8pm local time) on his website. He is even giving away 'real' tickets to one lucky person that RSVPs to his livestream on marcjacobs.com.

Meanwhile, as the editors of fashion blog Fashionista point out, it feels like New York Fashion Week, officially kicking off February 11, is starting: on February 4, supermodel Chanel Iman hosts a dinner in honor of Sonia Rykiel's knitwear launch at H&M, and next Tuesday (February 9) will not only see Cartier's new fragrance launch but also Sundance's Full Frontal Fashion at The Standard hotel.

As every season, there will be a broad range of special product ranges launching during the fashion week. Highlights the web knows of so far are a denim line by Opening Ceremony and Levi's, a branded digital camera by Jason Wu, and Love magazine's third issue.

Also during the event, Narciso Rodriguez will launch his collection for eBay, which will retail for prices between $65 and $350 on ebay.com/narcisorodriguezforebay, February 15.

And finally, flamboyant celebrity stylist Robert Verdi will premier his own reality show on the Logo network February 10.
