Marc Jacobs: I was never a fat heroin addict Designer Marc Jacobs talks to Interview magazine about drugs, smoking and Victoria Beckham. Marc Jacobs has spoken to Interview magazine about the wonderful combination of drugs, smoking and Victoria Beckham. Jacobs touches on his former drug addiction, for which he entered rehab in 1999 and then again in 2007 following a relapse, and is seemingly mortified by the suggestion that he was overweight whilst an addict.

And the first image you saw was just her legs coming out of a shopping bag. He also spoke of one of his less than successful campaigns with long time collaborator Juergen Teller and artist Cindy Sherman. The pair photographed, art directed and starred in a Marc Jacobs campaign in 2006 in which they played the roles of various different everyday characters.
