About us

Go back to 2017 on a sunny afternoon in one of the fashion capitals of the world - Paris, a light bulb moment came to Jo-Jo (founder of MAX TAEIQ) to create a clothing brand with a difference. A brand where each garment would mean more than just a design…it would be a fashion brand Where Fashion Meant More! Skip to 2018 in Bristol - UK and MAX TARIQ was born…Bristol’s FIRST and ONLY gender neutral clothing brand was to be shared with the world. An important message was embedded in the designs and three collections were launched in the first year. The Rainbow Collection celebrating the LGBTQ+ community and we launched the campaign ”Wear With Pride” being proud of you are regardless to race, gender, ethnicity and disability! The second collection was the NO LABELS collection, the message linked to this was not being defined by a “category” that society may place you in and breaking out of those stereotypes! Finally we had the Classic collection which was a variety of the brands logo with the triangles being a modern twist on the male and female symbols and creating something more neutral. 

The brand became well established as Bristols first gender neutral clothing brand with having a stall at Bristol Pride Festival, Interviews on various radio channels in the city also with Bristol 24/7 magazine. We worked with UWE LGBTQ+ Community and Off The Records a mental health support service. With online sales growing in the UK and much further a field MAX TARIQ was really starting to blossom. Then the big C happened…Covid and we took a pause on the business. Fast forward a few years we have now decided to relaunch the brand! With a new collection launching very soon, this will be the biggest collection to date!
