Archel Bernard seeks to help survivors of the Ebola pandemic rebuild, while pushing past the country’s boundaries on fashion

STaC alumna (2011), Archel Bernard, was featured this month by the New York Times Fashion & Style section for the work that she is doing in Monrovia, Liberia. She started a clothing line and boutique in 2013 called Mango Rags, and then the Ebola outbreak occurred. She left Liberia, but after returning, her new company, The Bombchel Factory, is becoming a place that fosters a supportive new community for Ebola survivors and edgy fashion that challenges convention.
