Alexandra Becket’s Los Angeles-based textile design business, Unico Studio focuses on the creation of one-of-a-kind prints for the home décor and fashion industry. Her designs are acquired by high-end fabric manufacturers, home décor companies and clothing designers, including Anthropologie, BCBG, Rozae Nichols, Vince Clothing, Trina Turk, Pottery Barn, Target, Guess, Bebe, Quicksilver, Tadashi, Laundry by Shelli Segal, St. John and many more.
Alexandra graduated with a B.A. in Studio Art from University of California, Santa Cruz and attended L’Accademia Delle Belle Arti in Bologna, Italy for a painting program. While in Italy she began painting on fabric, which has become her signature medium. Most textile designs are created on silk with water-based paints.
In addition, Alexandra’s wall hangings, paintings, and home décor accessories have been featured at Los Angeles showrooms and retailers including Denizen Design Gallery, LA Moderne, Rehab Vintage, Modernway, and Design Within Reach, among others. She has recently added home staging and custom interior design to her repertoir. She combines vintage furniture with custom made accessories and original artwork.
Alexandra has spent a lifetime creating artwork reflecting the natural curiosities that surrounded her during weekend retreats to a ranch in the Santa Ynez Valley. She has also been influenced by her life in Los Angeles and her artistic roots. As the granddaughter of Welton Becket, the architect who designed some of L.A.’s most famous landmarks (Capitol Records, the Music Center, the Beverly Hilton, the Pan Pacific Auditorium, etc.), she is influenced by the geometry of modernism, the sharp angles, graceful curvature and the relationship to the outdoor environment. Alexandra is dedicated to recreating the colors, patterns and forms that inspire her in a personal and unique way.
