According to CX Apparel, they wanted to start a project together, but were not exactly sure where to begin. With Zhang's interest in fashion and graphic design, they eventually decided to start a clothing line.
"We sell shirts and hoodies. We have sold around 30 graphic shirts, and approaching 40. We sell them through our website, which has an order form, and we market our products through Instagram." — Huang
"I got the white 'logo' shirt because back then there were no hoodies yet. I also liked the Japanese kanji writing 'abstract' or something like that. ... I would definitely buy again. Knowing the artist on their team, he won’t be running out of good ideas any time soon. Even though they’ve just started up, it’s gotten a lot of attention for most of the class of 2021, hopefully to the rest of the school soon." — Jean Pierre Mouloudj, junior

"I ordered the fish T-shirt because I loved the color and the design was super cool. ... I think what they are doing with their profits is really inspiring, especially during this major crisis. Since so many people are stuck inside, it’s hard to help out those in need through volunteering, but it’s reassuring to know that there are still ways to help out." — Hailey Hwang, junior

According to CX Apparel, they donate the majority of their funds to local charities such as the Ecumenical Hunger Program and East Palo Alto Kids Foundation. They are continuing to donate to these charities during the COVID-19 crisis.
"We wish to continue this business even when the three of us go to college because it’s not a project that requires constant face to face interactions between the three of us, but I think I can safely say that the three of us love working on this project and nothing is more rewarding than being able to make a difference in our neighboring communities even if it’s by one dollar." — Lin
