memoir + titlesec: change the shape of subsection

Question

I have the following setup:
documentclass{memoir}
usepackage[sc]{titlesec} % "sc" to make titles small cap

setsecnumdepth{subsection} % to number up to subsection

hangsecnum % to make the numbers hanging in the margin

begin{document}
    chapter{Test chapter}
    section{Test chapter}
    subsection{Test chapter}
end{document}

That is, I would like the chapter and section titles to be in small caps (sc option)
and be in the margin (hangsecnum). At the same time, I would like the subsections to be in italic.
How to achieve this?

From the documentation,, in the Quick reference section, you simply have to type
titleformat*{subsection}{itshape}

Of course, if you have more complex requirements, you might have to use the  Advanced interface.

The package titlesec is not compatible with memoir. See `titlesec` and `memoir` class incompability and About memoir and titlesec incompatibility
You can obtain the wanted effect with memoir tools.
documentclass{memoir}

setsecnumdepth{subsection} % to number up to subsection

renewcommand{chapnamefont}{normalfonthugescshape}
renewcommand{chapnumfont}{normalfonthugescshape}
renewcommand{chaptitlefont}{normalfontHugescshape}

setsecheadstyle{LargescshapememRTLraggedright}
setsubsecheadstyle{largeitshapememRTLraggedright}
setsecnumformat{makebox[0pt][r]{upshapecsname the#1endcsnamequad}}
% or just hangsecnum if you want the number to inherit the same font as the title

begin{document}

chapter{Test chapter}
section{Test section}
subsection{Test subsection}

end{document}
