Fashion designer Marc Jacobs has entered rehab.
''Marc made the right decision,'' Jacobs's longtime business partner, Robert Duffy, told Women's WearDaily, which reported the story on its Web site Monday.
Jacobs had previously acknowledged in interviews that he abused drugs and alcohol.
''He'd been sober for seven years. When he relapsed, he wanted to deal with it right away,'' Duffy told the industry newspaper. ''According to the experts, such a relapse isn't uncommon. Thankfully, Marc recognized the problem himself and chose to deal with it. Obviously, our prayers are with him.''
The confirmation that Jacobs was at a treatment facility came on the day that he received two nominations from the Council of Fashion Designers of America for its upcoming awards. He was nominated in the women's wear and accessories categories.
And those honors were on the heels of three well-received previews of fall collections--one for his namesake brand in New York; one for the more youth-oriented and less expensive Marc by Marc Jacobs label in London; and one in Paris for Louis Vuitton, owned by LVMH Moet Hennessy Louis Vuitton SA.
Jacobs is known as a bellwether for upcoming trends. In New York his fashion shows are always packed with celebrities, with music stars Rod Stewart, Lenny Kravitz, Joss Stone, Harry Connick Jr., and Debbie Harry most recently observing the runway.
They saw clothes that were long and lean, with a 1920s influence, almost guaranteeing a shift in fashion later this year to a slimmer silhouette. (AP)
