Last night, sometime between Anna Sui’s 60s-themed catwalk presentation and Jeremy Scott’s shit-show afterparty, Jillian Banks, who records as BANKS, performed in the shadows at a packed Irving Plaza. The venue was filled with tipsy people swaying to her Shlomo-produced track “Brains” while double fisting whiskey sodas, but it wasn’t your basic sold-out show.Sponsored by Coach, the private event (whose #Coachbackstage hashtag was splashed across the wall in neon lights, so you couldn’t forget it) was Banks’ third New York performance within six days. She’s this season’s Fashion Week music It Girl… and obviously the fact that her debut album came out on Tuesday is no coincidence.
