Emmy-winning US director and producer John Maggio is shooting Milano, a high-profile documentary on the rise of the Italian fashion industry that is expected to feature many of Italy's most iconic fashion designers.

Maggio, who most recently directed HBO documentary The Perfect Weapon, based on the best-selling book by David E. Sanger about the rise of cyber conflict, has been in production on location on the new project since late October, which was written and developed by Italy-based American journalist Alan Friedman.
