Art Center student's clothing company with a cause

In addition to studying automotive design at Art Center College of Design, student Mason Watson also runs his own automotive clothing company called Cars For A Cure Apparel.

Set up a year ago, the venture was established in honor of Watson's mother, who lost her battle with breast cancer in 2008. Every purchase made on the Cars For A Cure Apparel website includes a 20 percent donation to The Breast Cancer Research Foundation.

Watson describes the business as "not an ordinary apparel company and the main goal is simple: provide money for breast cancer research."

His latest collection includes the winning entry from a World Rally Concept design challenge (left), while he is now working on a new range of t-shirts with custom sketches or designs by influential car designers.
