Today, many industry structures are found in the form of clusters, implicating the existence of certain spatial and non-spatial proximities amongst firms, and these clusters can also be described and approached as ecosystems. Recently, Mimar Kemalettin Fashion District has become a focus of various design-related initiatives in Izmir, particularly in the process of constructing a Design City role for future. A major initiative is to promote the district as a wedding wear capital, both spatially and organizationally. In that, there is a need for comprehensive research to explore and evaluate the particular structure of the emerging wedding wear cluster on the site. The aim of the present study is to investigate how the ecosystem of this clustering in the Mimar Kemalettin Fashion District in Izmir operates in terms of diversity, especially for determining future planning decisions. The methodology of the study consists of the following: literature review on the diversity in the fashion industry, taking the wedding wear as its sub-set, data collection via site visits, and the diversity measure questionnaire conducted on site, as well as data processing through descriptive analyses and evaluations. The findings point out that the existing wedding wear sector cluster is still young and emerging, and currently self-operates in a compact spatial structure with limited diversity.
