    I can only manage five words:

    - Male and female Thai fashion.
    - Men's and women's Thai fashion.
    Remember - correct capitalisation, punctuation and spacing make posts much easier to read.

    I'm not a teacher, but I write for a living. Please don't ask me about 2nd conditionals, but I'm a safe bet for what reads well in (American) English.

    I like that although it suggests that it includes teens, children and babies and I'm not sure that that is true.

    That means the same as 'Thai fashion for everyone'.

    Epicene Thai fashions.

    Epicene | Define Epicene at Dictionary.com

    However, please get past your horror of the word "unisex". Fashions for both men and women in English are unisex fashions. That's all.
