By Akili King ·Updated March 12, 2026 < /> Getting your Trinity Audio player ready… The sun is out in NYC. The temperatures are finally above freezing level. It’s almost Aries season. And, speaking of fellow Aries, my good sis Jill Scott, Miss Jilly from Philly, just announced her tour dates for new album To Whom This May Concern. I’ve of course had the project on repeat as well—especially tracks “Don’t Play” and “Pressha.” In other words, I’m feeling good! Thanks for asking.

In all seriousness, I am extremely excited for her tour.

“What I do know is that she will continue to use her platform to promote Black Creatives! She wants to continue to use fashion to tell stories—hers and ours,” Macklin, who was also the former ESSENCE Fashion Director, starting in 1999, tells us exclusively. “We have been playing with an unstructured structure, shapes, textures, and fabrics that read luxe—with comfort as our north star.” See Scott’s recent looks—a plaid, patchwork ‘fit for her Tiny Desk episode, and all denim set and silk press for her Colors Studio session—for examples.

And, unsurprisingly, when it comes to working with Scott, “I absolutely love contributing to the evolution,” Macklin notes. More importantly, “she is family and our relationship is deeper than wardrobe.”
You can catch Jill Scott on tour starting this June.
