9DRIP STORI3S | YVES V: THINGS THAT YOU PURCHASED WHEN YOU FELT THAT YOU HAD MADE IT
1. A holiday to the Maldives – I love experiencing new cultures and the Maldives, still to this day, was one of the most beautiful places I’ve ever visited. As you can imagine, being in the middle of the ocean out from the Asian/ Indian mainland makes for a secluded experience and amazing weather – lots of fun, sun and cocktails in such a memorable setting.
2. Wine Collection – I purchased a wine collection for my wine cellar! It’s something I love indulging in, red wines are especially my favourite, but I always like to lean about different grapes, continents and regions, even if that is having a glass of an evening at home, or when eating out. I’m still no expert but love the complexity or subtlety in discovering the differences between, say, a Barbera or a Pomerol.
3. Shoes – I’m big into my sneakers, from casual Vans to chunkier Nikes but I always remember being so excited to cop Yeezy’s back when they were first announced; a certified classic!

4. I really like expressing myself through jewellery, I like darker colours and silver, like leather cuffs or an understated ring. Even jewellery, like the leather and crystal long necklace I recently wore on the mainstage of Tomorrowland Winter recently, just added an extra dose of energy to my outfit!
5. Again, Sneakers! Some others in my wardrobe on rotation are Gucci Ace low tops that go with so much in my wardrobe and YSL also make some really classic-looking, fresh sneakers too like the Andy in a white or black colourway.
6. Tomorrowland sunglasses are a firm favourite! Maybe I’m biased but with such a great range for both men and women, both colourful and classic, their whole range has something for everyone and keeps me looking stylist both on and off stage. The team over there also recently did a limited edition collab with Yuma Labs that is just fire.

7. Being a wine fan, where I follow in his footsteps, I bought some wine for my father from South Africa. He loves more full-bodied tastes and I knew I wanted to get him several that just showed how complex the region is and experience that with him through something we both love.
8. I surprised my wife with a holiday to South Africa, flying business class. It really felt like a total luxury and to share that with her, as something we’d always wanted to do, was a once-in-a-lifetime and felt amazing to share with her. It was a trip and moment I’ll truly treasure from earlier on in our marriage.
9. I also got my mother a Celine handbag! To treat my family and loved ones is something that I have loved to do since early on in my career and I’m lucky that we can all share in our collective successes today. I wouldn’t be where I am without them and although not everything is about material items, it’s nice to be able to treat them and live through sharing and making memories together.
