Dinner Service NY is a New York-based fashion label that translates the stories of music artists, creative brands, and restaurants into modern streetwear that’s sustainable, using alternatives to synthetic fabrics and production that’s free of toxic chemicals—all attractive qualities for Las Vegas when it went looking to collaborate on a limited-edition clothing collection. The Las Vegas Collection, a limited capsule of street- and pool wear, launches today. The goal: to celebrate the nuance and history behind Vegas glitz and glamour in a few distinctive pieces. Dinner Service NY co-founder Gabrielle Gomes understood the assignment—even better than anyone could have anticipated. The former head of analytics for Chanel USA, who’d built out analytics for organic bedding company Boll & Branch before starting her company, is herself a product of a great Las Vegas story.
More than clothing, The Las Vegas Collection is a letter home — an ode to the city that raised a generation of dreamers, performers, and innovators.
“It was kismet,” says Gomes, whose parents were key players in shaping Las Vegas culture. Her father, Dennis Gomes, became the youngest-ever chief of the Gaming Control Board’s audit division, investigating Mob-led skimming in 1970s-era casinos (and inspiring some scenes in the movie Casino). The Gaming Hall of Fame inductee later operated multiple casinos, including the Hilton, Frontier, Aladdin, Dunes and Golden Nugget, before heading to Atlantic City as an owner-operator. Her mother, Barbara, had been a celebrated Folies Bergère adagio dancer and later principal with the Nevada Ballet Theatre.
“Entertainers, in many ways, have shaped culture today, and Vegas was a launching pad,” Gomes says. She points to the historical epochs in Las Vegas that chronicled the changing circumstances of both the destination and America itself: the optimism of a post-World War city teeming with entertainers and new casinos; the pride, fear, and awe of an Atomic Era taking shape mere miles from the Las Vegas Strip; the transformation of Las Vegas hospitality from a Mob- to corporate-led industry; and the party heyday of the 1960s and ’70s, all playing out on the stark canvas of the desert.
The Vegas Collection draws inspiration from midcentury showmanship and contemporary functionality alike, and, Gomes says, was influenced by her own experience with Las Vegas. “The bomber jacket was inspired by something I found in my mom’s closet. Folies Bergère dancers used blue satin bomber jackets as their warm-up jackets. Ours lays out the landmarks of the entertainment depots on the back.”
The bowling top is covered in images sourced from the Las Vegas News Bureau Collection, LVCVA Archive: think the pool on the Plaza roof (circa 1972) where Oscar’s Steakhouse now stands, a 1953 floating craps game at The Sands, a diver in mid-leap over the Sahara Hotel pool in 1953. “The fabrication is a plant-based, flowy fabric,” Gomes says. “It embodies the pool culture of Las Vegas that started the dayclub scene of today. We very much saw that piece living at a pool near a pool party.”
The Crewneck and Stardust Cap reinterpret Las Vegas symbols—casino chips, marquees, cursive signage—through a contemporary lens. “For the two hats, we wanted to fuse the elevation of Las Vegas with traditional workwear style-based fabric and shape,” Gomes says. “It is such a literal way to bring history to the garment—and sometimes literal is the answer. There’s so much imagery that’s in the desert.”
Gomes characterizes the connection between New York and Las Vegas as one founded on risk, aspiration, and a perpetual pursuit of possibility—and The Las Vegas Collection as a love letter to her parents, the destination, and to people who take chances and show up for the next hand. The Vegas Collection debuts November 4, 2025, is a limited collection, and is available exclusively at dinnerserviceny.com.
