When Swizz Beatz isn’t producing hits for some of the biggest acts in the music industry, namely Kanye West, the New York producer is busy being an art collector, a dad, and of course, the flashiest dressed man in the room. His aforementioned panache has landed Swizz the deal of the season: curating holiday collections for Farfetch.com.

The website teamed up with Swizz to curate two collections, one for women and one for men, both of which capture his idea of style. The men’s collection is exactly what you would expect from Swizz: pieces that illustrate his personal style, while the women’s selection is what one could expect if they let a man choose their wardrobe for a night out: high heels and mini dresses.

The site also caught up with Swizz to share some of his secrets for a good time. Check out some excerpts below.

Party guru 

Fab 5 Freddy: I feel that we have parallel lines as far as how we interact with music and art culture.

Favourite party look 

My first suit that amazed me with its fit was this one-of-a-kind Cavalli. It fit me so perfect. I went out to an event in it, saw the pictures on the red carpet and thought, “I like that look. I’ll stick with that.” Before then I would wear pants saggin’ because I didn’t care what people thought about my style. Now I try to be inspirational every chance I get.

How to dress for an event 

Every man should have an assortment of belts, ties, bow ties, cufflinks, comfortable socks, different kind of hats for the mood and Kamikaze [cocktails]. But, most importantly, you need something nobody else has, something in your wardrobe that’s a one-off.

Hangover cure 

Organic apple juice or coconut water. I’m happy to wake up every morning, I don’t need coffee!
