We all know the famed designer for his incredibly designed shoes and more recently handbags. However it looks like he has something else up his sleeve, according Vogue UK we will soon be presented with Louboutin's Dresses.

CHRISTIAN LOUBOUTIN teamed up with Parsons in New York to launch a design competition for the institution's graduates - and the winners have today been announced. Isaias Arias, Joanna Baker, Manuela Di Prima, Vivian Graf and Hyeyoung Kim were Louboutin's lucky final five, who impressed him with their interpretations of his work.
The footwear designer invited Parsons design students who graduated in 2010 and 2011 to create ready-to-wear pieces inspired by his silhouettes over the past 20 years, to help celebrate the brand's 20th anniversary. A group of 20 finalists were selected from the mood boards submitted by Simon Collins, dean of the Parsons School of Fashion, before Louboutin and Bergdorf Goodman's Linda Fargo chose the five winners.

The winners will see their pieces produced and unveiled during the Christian Louboutin 20th-anniversary event at Bergdorf's in early February.

Spotlight On:The New It Girl Jessica Burciaga

She has it all from the girl next door appeal, to extreme sex appeal. I first took notice of her when I saw the Jamie Foxx ft Drake "Fall For Your Type" video and to be honest I had to take a sceond glance because I really thought that she was JLO.

Her father is Mexican and her mother is French and Irish . She was selected to be Playboy's February 2009 Playmate of the Month . I think we are just starting to see the beginning of the beautiful Jessica, and that she has alot more in store......
