Today we’d like to introduce you to Ciara Strickland. Them and their team share their story with us below:
At 27, Ciara has already worn quite a few hats while establishing herself as a prominent content creator and style influencer. With a bold yet refined, masculine yet feminine, and “neo-nostalgic” approach, she focused on defining one thing: “The New Mixx”. Thus, her brand was born.
Currently completing her B.S.B.A. in Marketing, Ciara utilizes the skills she gained during her 5½ year tour in the United States Navy in unexpected ways. Her infusion of fine tailoring with the southern charm of her hometown, Chattanooga, TN, has become notably recognizable.
However, her goal has always been clear to her. “I wanted The New Mixx to not only be an outlet for myself but to bring any form of inspiration for anyone looking to transform or empower themselves.” Her approach? Produce quality content across various platforms while retaining relatability and openness with their audience.
Would you say it’s been a smooth road, and if not what are some of the biggest challenges you’ve faced along the way?
It’s defiantly been a bumpy road. When starting my journey on Instagram, I had to find my place in the “menswear” world while still navigating with my femininity intact. Once I found the middle ground, I was able to power though!
Thanks – so what else should our readers know about your work and what you’re currently focused on?
I am an androgynous content creator!
One of the cornerstones of my platforms is de-gendering fashion by creating content to show my community: People who want to dress similarly and express themselves, where to start. My closet is made up of clothing that works for both men and women. I wear what I feel comfortable and confident in and encourage others to do the same.
I am proud to be someone that people can look to as inspiration. Growing up, I didn’t have anyone like myself and it’s a great feeling knowing that I have helped someone, whether young, old or in between, with finding themselves, especially navigating through fashion.
