Anna and Frank Vintage Electric Baroque 1990s Silk Jacquard Dress
An exuberant collision of color, pattern, and polish, this vintage Anna & Frank dress captures the fearless glamour of the late 1980s and early 1990s. Crafted from 100% silk with a subtly textured jacquard ground, it layers brilliant turquoise, fuchsia, and electric green with golden chains, ornate medallions, and graphic black-and-white geometrics. Structured shoulders create a confident silhouette, while fabric-covered buttons lend a beautifully finished look from neckline to hem.
Why We Love It
This dress refuses to choose between polished and playful. The streamlined silhouette lets the extraordinary print take center stage, while the pure silk construction gives all that unapologetic color a wonderfully luxurious foundation. Add heels and sculptural earrings—or wear it open over slim trousers as a dramatic silk duster.

Collector’s Notes
The dress reflects the maximalist mood that defined late-1980s and early-1990s fashion, when jewel tones, gilded chain motifs, and assertive shoulders transformed day dresses into complete visual statements. Anna & Frank is found most often in silk blouses, making this full-length expression of the label’s vibrant aesthetic especially appealing. The tonal jacquard beneath the print adds another layer of textile interest that photographs only begin to reveal.
