In a time when texting and tweeting have eclipsed the more personal act of speaking, words, messages and mottos also appeared in full force on the Fall/Winter 2017/2018 ready-to-wear runways. Jewelry designers are creating everything from witty one-word pieces to full sayings that either hark back to sentiments of the past or have deep significance today.
