as much as I like both pics, is it even confirmed that these are covers?
b&w photo is gorgeous too, but previous one is much better, particularly because it has more to do with logo of the magazine, it just fits. and it seems kinda strange for them to put out two covers being so different, if they did multiple, they usually stuck to one particular idea and here - one dreamy, and very decorative and one very simple and modern.
as to the date of release, last AW issue was released at the very beginning of August (August 2nd?) if I remember correctly, so July 30th doesn't really shock me.
btw, I've found picture below on LOVE's twitter. it is a bit different from the version that was posted here before. I like the 1st one better though.
