## Should you use this desk?

Use this desk for Milan weeks, Pitti Uomo, Italian-nationality faces, and Milan-tied hair finishes. Skip it if you need couture credits — those sit in Paris.

Skip this if you need haute couture. Milan is ready-to-wear and menswear craft, not the legally protected couture calendar.
