The Prologue Experience
8th October 2026,
Dearest Muse,
The rain was falling gently outside St Helens Manor in Ireland and inside the original 17th century Jacobean room, the fireplace was lit and the air smelled of a earthly delights within its ornate walls held the House of Amaranthine’s awakening. Behind the unlocked door the artiste Rachelle Cunningham brought to life her enchanting realm for all of you, her muses from past, present & future to relish in. A teasing of what is to come for this cocooned home of ours, displayed were the gorgeous boudoir cushions with lace and frills, beautifully soft velvet clothing pieces & a delicious eau de parfum “Amaranthine”. Along with her artworks narrating the clothes, each print on the cushions and clothes are original artworks by rachelle entitled Amber Florals & Dark Forrest & The Victorian Tile Motifs, inspired by the elements of the house, then designed by Rachelle into objects of one’s greatest affections. There were many of you traveler’s who came by to uncover the precious objects, to read the prologue, to delight in the senses. Greeted with chocolates and coffee, guests played dress-up in the pieces of the amaranthine wardrobe. Some spritzed themselves with the enchanting perfume, while others lingered at the artworks depicting the muses in the very looks showcased on the vintage Stockman mannequins, lined against the golden and black painted walls. Each guest left with a little Black Bag and inside a Letter from the House and a petit key. Rachelle walked around the room and spoke with the guests she felt such a sense of happiness to unleash into the world, this world of hers, that has been brewing in her dreams ever since she was a little girl, she knows this is only the beginning of the houses story but what a poetic way to bring life to such a dream of hers. She wants to thank personally everyone at the St Helens Hotel for taking such great care of her & her family and friends of the house, as well as the team at Ireland Fashion week who hosted her and her House of curiosities. She hopes dear muse that you will love the pieces and cherish them in your own homes, for that they may become your objects of greatest affection.
