The day has arrived. Sunday January 24th, the world will finally catch a glimpse of music artist Lil Mama’s 21st birthday celebration and Engineered by Remy’s custom made, and Michael Jackson inspired, “Bad” Jacket chosen to be the center of Lil Mama’s look for the event.
For those who don’t know about the intense yet exciting process to completion of this unique jacket, check out The Birth of MJ’s “BAD” Jacket (Part One). In a nutshell designer Remy Hou had only four days, a variety of setbacks and only one shot to impress Lil Mama and her stylist Jason Griffin. Racing against the clock to produce the perfect look for the artist’s MTV taping wasn’t easy but was it worth it?
The second the product was shipped and on its way to MTV’s New York City studios, Remy had no clue what the final reaction would be. So did he succeed?…..

“Griffin loved it!,” said Remy.
Amazed at the quality of work within the 72 hour window for production (day four was all about last minute inspections and shipment clear across the country), the jacket was a hit! Lil Mama had yet to see it but everyone including her dancers was in awe.
“Griffin mentioned that I did a wonderful job. He was impressed…and the fact that I was able to win the heart of a New Yorker, that was the most important part,” said Remy.
While the design surpassed the crew’s expectations with flying colors the final verdict was yet to be heard from the birthday girl herself, Lil Mama. When she finally saw it…she was shocked! And definitely in a good way.
“For me to make something to go along with Michael Jackson and [Lil Mama’s] work was complete bliss,” said Remy. “The fit was perfect, everything could not have been better. Her look was that of a superstar.”
