Poh Ling Yeow Instagram – Thank you @womensweeklymag for the privilege. To be at 50, running through the gripping beauty of the Australian desert in insanely gorgeous gowns and being able to tell the story of my grief for Mum; to have the magazine fortuitously on shelves the day before the 2nd anniversary of her passing….I’m overwhelmed with gratitude and the deepest sorrow all at once, because one of the most innate longings of a daughter is to feel the pride of her greatest witness, and this a mother is. The day I saw the cover for the first time, all I could see was her, in my face, my hands, my stance….i have more to say but it won’t fit because I have to thank all the wonderful people who made this happen, so please keep reading (if you’re interested) in the comments section which I have pinned below 👇
Thank you to the Upper Southern Arrernte people of Wurre (Rainbow Valley) and the Central Arrernte people of Rungutjirpa (Simpsons Gap), the Traditional Owners of the lands on which we photographed and filmed this cover story.
Thank you to the glorious @womensweeklymag team for picking me to be their Christmas cover girl and for all the skills and expertise that went into this joyous result including the @ntaustralia team. It’s an experience I’ll never forget, not to mention the fanning of the heinous flies, at least 1 consumed by @brewbevanphoto and for our interesting family dinners at the Juicy Rump!
Sincere gratitude to all the Australian designers involved especially those who worked so hard on custom made pieces right up to the last minute to make this shoot as magical as it was @velani @voellk @leolin_official @cappellazzocouture @tjanpidesertweavers @nobleandprecious @millwoods @jasongrech
