STREETWEAR BORN FROM THE SOUL OF CHICAGO
The Culture Behind The Cloth
We’re not chasing trends — we’re preserving culture.
Te-Qu was born in Chicago’s Little Village, inspired by Pilsen’s walls, and rooted in tequio, the Nahuatl word for communal work. Our mission is to uplift underrepresented street artists by transforming their work into high-quality, wearable art — crafted with integrity, collaboration, and respect.

World In My Eyes
Featured artists: Kayla and Sentrock
‘World in My Eyes’ is, first and foremost, rooted in the lives of everyday people. Both Sentrock and Mahaffey have long depicted friends and neighbors in their own Chicago neighborhoods, exploring how our city shapes its youngest residents. How are children cared for? How are their imaginations and dreams nurtured?
