The rest of the collection draws heavy inspiration from BDSM, [metal-focused fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-future-is-not-set), and [subverted views of luxury fashion](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/nocta-x-chrome-hearts). 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. Interested consumers can visit Rick Owens’ website and boutiques to shop the ‘Cerberus Hook Tank Top’ in Brass.
