Local designer Scooter Ray has hit Louisville’s fashion scene with designs inspired by his parents. Scooter has taken the themes of their love and life turning them into three different clothing lines; Broad, Core and S.O.U.L. Watching his last fashion show at the Kentucky Derby Museum was a heart-warming experience for most in attendance. With the passing of his father and his mother’s current battle with cancer, the symbolism of their love and journey was on display for all to watch in awe.

Scooter is selling his dresses this Derby season; some of them are on display at the Great Hat Exchange located at 3900 Shelbyville Road. There will be a benefit at the store this Saturday for local charity Meghan’s Mountain. Other confirmed attendees include Denny Crum, Miss Jefferson County and Mrs. Kentucky. 12 p.m. to 2 p.m.
