“I like to feel comfortable but stylish in my clothes” says Vincent…
WHO Vincent Crepel, the two Michelin-star chef patron at Terre, Castlematyr Resort, Cork.
MY STYLE is sporty chic. I like to feel comfortable but stylish in my clothes. At work I wear a mandarin collar shirt, black suit pants, a nice belt, a Rukka gilet, and comfortable shoes. Right now, New Balance are my shoe of choice for work. Off duty, I prefer quality pieces of clothing rather than fast fashion. My girlfriend works for Fendi, so she buys most of my clothes and gives me great style advice. She is my personal shopper!
MY BEST INVESTMENT PIECES are my watches. I have a Rolex, an Audemars Piguet and a Patek Phillipe.
MY STYLE ICON is Karim Benzema.
ON MY WISHLIST? Anything by Dior, an amazing Louis Vuitton jacket, a Rimowa suitcase (pricey but the quality is unbeatable), and a pair of New Balance sneakers for work.
MY SIGNATURE SCENTS Dior Sauvage and Dior Homme Sport eau de parfum.
The Body Crème, La Mer, €275, at Brown Thomas; www.brownthomas.com
MY EXERCISE ROUTINE I love going to the gym, not just for the physical results but for my mental health. I prioritise both and this, in turn, makes me better at my job. I can face challenges better after working out.
FAVOURITE APPS Chrono24, an app for watches, and Spotify – I can browse my music during the day, depending on my mood. I listen to all types of music. The music at Terre is inspired by my playlist.
COFFEE ORDER Double espresso and a glass of water.
MY SIGNATURE DISH FOR FRIENDS AT HOME depends on the company. I tend to choose fish instead of meat for large gatherings – a whole seabass cooked with a salt crush and shared in the middle of the table.
BOOKS OR NETFLIX? Books. I am reading Leader Eats Last by Simon Sinek and it’s great so far. www.terre.ie.
