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

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.

I'm not sure I agree with that. Unisex refers to clothes which can be worn by both men and women. If the company in question is making dresses, skirts etc for women, as well as making trousers etc for men, then it is not making unisex clothing. I got the impression that the company was making Thai fashion for men and Thai fashion for women, not Thai fashion which can be worn by both men and women.

In that case "adult Thai fashions" if children's clothing is to be excluded.

I already suggested "Men's and Women's Thai Fashions" in post #3 and, as 5jj said, you said you wanted it to be as short as possible.
