THE FASHION ALCHEMIST IS IN.

I’m Rachel Marie Hurst — designer, stylist, creative director, and the woman behind House of Bolden.

For nearly two decades, I’ve worked across fashion design, styling, retail, creative direction, education, and brand building.

What I’ve learned is simple:

The woman is never the problem.

Sometimes the fit is wrong.
Sometimes the proportion is wrong.
Sometimes your closet belongs to an older version of you.

That’s where Fashion Alchemy comes in.

WHAT IS A FASHION ALCHEMIST?

Part stylist.
Part designer.
Part problem solver.

I help you figure out what to:

KEEP · ALTER · RESTYLE · TRANSFORM · INTENTIONALLY ADD

Sometimes you need a new piece.

Sometimes you need a better way to wear what you already own.

Sometimes we need to change the garment.

And sometimes we need to make the damn thing ourselves.
