Marc Jacobs, one of the most famous designers in the world today, has checked himself into rehab the day after showing his Louis Vuitton collection in Paris.

The New York-based designer, who has in the past admitted to having problems with substance and alcohol abuse, was reported to have relapsed after seven years of being sober, and was quick to take action and undergo a second round of in-patient rehabilitation at a treatment facility in the State of Arizona.

According to Jacobs’ business partner Robert Duffy, experts say that such a relapse is not uncommon, and he expressed relief that Jacobs himself recognized the problem and dealt with it accordingly.

Currently the artistic director for Louis Vuitton, Marc Jacobs is known for creating designs that do not follow trends. He is the designer mostly responsible for introducing to the market such trends as combat trousers, chain-handled handbags and quilted leather.
