>> It's that time of year: When designers take to their yachts and famous faces join them. Domenico Dolce and Stefano Gabbana have been tooling around in their boat for the past week or so, first with Eva Mendes and then with Jennifer Lopez, before joining Naomi Campbell and her boyfriend Vladislav Doronin in Capri for a little karaoke over the weekend. The holiday hasn't been all fun for Naomi, though: a photographer claimed she slapped him and hit him with her handbag in Sicily; her rep denies anything happened.
And over in Saint-Tropez today, Kate Moss and her boyfriend Jamie Hince took to a yacht called "Serenity" with Karen Mulder — who hopefully got her arrest resolved — and Stefano Pilati, who has a summer place in the area. They lunched at Club 55 and then took to a little impromptu photo session (NSFW) and topless sunbathing; this isn't the first time Kate has vacationed with a designer — last year it was Marc Jacobs and Lorenzo Martone.

>> Karen Mulder Arrested for Threatening Plastic Surgeon —The 39-year-old '90s supermodel was taken into custody in Paris this morning following a complaint from a plastic surgeon of "vicious telephone calls." A detective said Mulder is being interviewed for repeated calls asking for a previous operation to be reversed — she was allegedly "screaming and shoyting about the operation and became extremely threatening." Mulder has had a troubled past — in 2001, she was treated for depression in a psychiatric hospital and a year later overdosed on sleeping pills — but is expected to be released. [Telegraph UK]

>> Natalia Vodianova has been chatting up her collaboration with Etam for a while — and last night, the French lingerie company shelled out for their newly-signed three year ambassador, staging a full-blown show at the Ritz in Paris that drew the likes of Eva Herzigova, Emmanuelle Alt, and Charlotte Casiraghi in the front row and Edita Vilkeviciute, Sigrid Agren, Flavia Oliveira, and Sessilee Lopez on the runway. Natalia pour Etam, which encompasses swimwear and lingerie, including a silk nightgown inspired by one in Natalia's own wardrobe, runs $20-$80 and hits stores in April. The line will be reoccurring, with Natalia designing a new collection every season over the period of her ambassadorship.
