Rick Owens has debuted a new Fall/Winter collection for the brand’s 2022 runway show, ' STROBE.’ The runway featured Rick Owens-affiliated male model Tyrone Dylan Susman, who sported the new ‘Cerberus Hook Tank Top’ as the show’s opener. The rest of the collection draws heavy inspiration from BDSM, metal-focused fashion, and subverted views of luxury fashion.
The ‘Cerberus Hook Tank Top’ comes from the brand’s previously released Y-shaped necklace, sharing the same Gemini Double-Ended Snap Hooks as their focal points. Rick Owens crafted the top using the hooks to link the Y-shaped connections throughout the piece. At the top, the structure is connected by chain-link metal straps that suspend off the shoulder.
