DJ Mehdi

schott x dj mehdi forever

As the 20th anniversary of the release of the album "Lucky Boy" approaches in 2026, "DJ Mehdi Forever" presents its iconic varsity jacket, created in collaboration with SCHOTT NYC ®. The jacket pays tribute to DJ Mehdi’s memory and the classic varsity look that became his signature style, immortalized on the cover of his album “Lucky Boy” and in the video for his track “I Am Somebody”. The “DJ Mehdi Forever” jacket comes in two versions: “Classic” and “Limited Edition”.
• The “Classic” version pays tribute to DJ Mehdi’s memory and signature look, with “DJ Mehdi Forever” logos designed by artist So-ME embroidered on the front and back of the jacket.
• The “Limited Edition” version celebrates the unique connections DJ Mehdi forged between the two musical worlds closest to him: hip-hop and electronic music. With a "hip-hop" sleeve and an "electronic music" sleeve featuring the logos of some of the artists Mehdi collaborated with, this jacket symbolizes the bridges he built between those worlds and celebrates his contributions to contemporary pop culture.

The “Limited Edition” version will be limited to 360 pieces, while the “Classic” jacket will remain available. As with all "DJ Mehdi Forever" merchandise, proceeds from the sale of this jacket will go toward preserving DJ Mehdi’s memory and artistic legacy.

“When the series ‘DJ Mehdi: Made in France’ was nominated at the 2025 Victoires de la Musique awards, we created a special set of "cast & crew" varsity jackets for the team. We wore them during our tribute performance and when we accepted the award for ‘Best Audiovisual Creation’ for the series. Ever since, viewers and DJ Mehdi fans have kept asking us to release the jackets. Now, here they are!”

— Thibaut De Longeville, director of the series “DJ Mehdi: Made in France”
