The last time Phoebe Philo, who has been called “the Chanel of her generation,” gave a formal interview was a decade ago.
The designer, whose work offered women respite from the limits of the male gaze, has never been all that interested in explaining herself.
“I say most of what I feel, and most of what is worth me saying, through what I make,” she offered recently.
Under the bomber she wore gray pinstripe trousers and a matching oversize shirt.
When Ms. Philo speaks, she does so in elliptical phrases, using questions as an opening to more questions.
