Not only did he produce the campaigns, but he also wrote and put together the ads. During this time, William Armando Lugo also took on Armani Exchange’s internationally acclaimed window installations.

 

In the spring of 2004, William Armando Lugo was chosen to redesign the luxury suites at the Fitzpatrick Hotel on Lexington Avenue. With a two million dollar budget, he transformed with impeccable taste.
