Washington, DC (PRWEB) February 28, 2015

The World Future Society, known for five decades as the worlds premiere institution identifying and exploring issues critical to the long-term future of mankind, today announced the leading participants for its upcoming annual conference WorldFuture 2015: Making the Future.

Steve Jurvetson, renowned venture capitalist and Partner at Draper Fisher Jurvetson, will serve as the opening keynote, setting the stage for three days of interactive sessions designed to unite more than 1,000 attendees in identifying and addressing future-critical issues. Jurvetson is best known for his success in future-facing investments such as SpaceX, Synthetic Genomics, Tesla Motors, Hotmail, Interwoven, Kana, and NeoPhotonics.

To forge the future and create revolutionary changes, companies begin by building interdisciplinary teams of passionate, inspired, and determined people, said Jurvetson. The World Future Society provides an ideal forum to introduce our greatest shared challenges, and allow brilliant minds from across global society to coalesce around scenarios and concepts that can lead to breakthroughs across technology, healthcare, governance, education, and more.

Additional confirmed speakers include technologist Paul Saffo; President and CEO of the Center for Democracy and Technology Nuala OConnor; author Ramez Naam; futurists Peter Schwartz, Nancy Murphy and Ari Popper; media and Internet expert Janna Anderson; Verynice CEO and a Huffington Post Millennial to Watch Matt Manos; and many more.

Interactive sessions will focus on three key thematic tracks: The Business of Foresight, Technology and Innovation, and Global Issues.

WorldFuture 2015: Making the Future will be held at the Hilton San Francisco Union Square Hotel on July 24-26, 2015. Detailed information about the conference, including registration information, is available at http://www.WorldFuture2015.org. Advance registration for media is also now open.

In a departure from past conferences, the kickoff keynote address featuring Steve Jurvetson will take place at 4:00 p.m. on July 24, the opening day of the WorldFuture 2015.

Making the Future is all about the interaction between the intellectual and entrepreneurial community that thrives throughout the Bay Area and prominent representatives of the global foresight community who travel from around the world to attend the WFS annual conference, said Dr. Amy Zalman, President and CEO of the World Future Society.

For nearly five decades, WFS has served as the convener of crucial discussion about the future, continued Zalman. We unite leaders working to solve issues across the public, private and technology sectors with professional futurists who offer guidance for navigating these issues. Working at this nexus illuminates new possibilities for collaboration and unrestrained innovation. WorldFuture 2015 will welcome hundreds of emerging futurists, from all generations and sectors, to engage in ideation, debate, and discovery.

A new take on the urban male wardrobe this season

As seasons trends come and go, it might not be practical to do a complete wardrobe overhaul but its always refreshing to update with a few key pieces. Channel the stylish urban male with H&M menswear collection for spring/summer 2015. Blousons, biker jackets, parkas, denim jackets, and blazers are paired with tech zip-ups, heat-sealed shirts, and scuba-look sweatshirts for a modern-day take on city dressing.

H&M menswear spring/summer 2015 collection

The urban mens wardrobe is always evolving. For spring at H&M its a strong look that combines updates to modern essentials with sportswear-inspired pieces in innovative fabrics. The feel of the city comes across in a graphic palette in shades of black, gray and white, with pops of green for a contrasting statement, says Andreas Lwenstam, H&Ms head menswear designer.

Themes include fresh twists on urban classics, like a cotton denim jacket in black or white; a half-lined blazer in memory-effect fabric; a metallic or linen pilot jacket, and a lived-in leather biker jacket. Technical fabrics add futurism, such as an apple-green mesh zip-up pilot jacket or a sweatshirt in scuba-look fabric printed with sci-fi imagery.

Skinny jeans are patched at one knee, while tailored pants are cropped, and sweatpants are in jersey or imitation leather. Essentials have new energy, such as a crisp white poplin shirt with a heat-sealed pocket, an apple-green tech-knit sweater, and scoop-neck or leather T-shirts. Key accessories in the collection include the leather tote bag, classic black lace-ups, and sneakers.

The H&M menswear spring/summer 2015 collection will be sold in 150 stores worldwide as well as online from March. Go to hm.com

Give Django Django points for commitment to and execution of a concept. Their Daniel Swan-directed video for "First Light," the lead single from the upcoming Born Under Saturn, is hardly the most eventful of clips the video is little more than a series of pan-outs on sleek, glass-heavy buildings, which reflect the incoming sunlight and occasionally make visible heat waves but it's certainly one of the more striking visuals you'll see for a song this week, almost Chris Cunningham-esque in its cold, hypnotizing futurism. If nothing else, it proves that old Ron Swanson truism about art: Anything is anything. Watch the video above.

Leave it toLondon to lovingly exploit an aesthetic.

The quirkiest fashion capital knows how to push atrendas far as possiblethis is why we have the Britsto thank for the birth of the mini-skirt.

This London Fashion Week wasno different.The current 70s craze came through loud and clear, withpunched-up prints, bright florals and a sense of humornot seen in the comparably toned-downNYC collections. Brits also remixed and remastered the50s and 60s with zeal, and even Gareth Pughs menacing all-black collectionhad New Yorks goth obsession almost beat.

As always, London provided a welcomedose ofjoie de vivre,with none of the apologetic restraint so often seen in the department-store-ready New York collections.

On Saturday morning, Emilia Wickstead showed classic 1950s silhouettes, perfect for a woman who is totally modern but still loves a good Hitchcock reference.There were alsoclean pantsuits and red-carpet-ready ball gowns of which Tippi Hedren would approve.

Simone Rocha jolted crowds to attention on Saturday with blown-up rose prints, carpet-like cloaks and even dresses with fur panels down the middle. The eccentric collectionwas united in its exuberant excess.

Providing a quick break from color, Gareth Pugh threwaveritablegoth jamboree (if goths have jamborees) on Saturday night. Known as New Yorkers are for their love of all things black, Mr. Pugh outdid us. There were black feathers, black cloaks, armor-like black chestplates. One model wore a black ballgown and fur hat, perfect for theSuper Sweet Sixteen of a Visigoth warlords daughter. One model was bare-chested, wearing a billowing black skirt and waving a giant red flag like a victorious bride of Dracula.

On Sunday, Preen played with such British classics as cable knits, tartan and lace-up boots, givingthe effect of a technicolor punk-rock garden party. Models sported middle-parted, fluffycurls, like a bad 70s school portrait made chic. The plaids were perfect for your neighborhood Helena Bonham Carter wannabe.

Punk rocks dowager queen, Vivienne Westwood, incorporated every color of her muted ruffians rainbow for her autumn and winter collection. Matchy stripes and plaids, sculptural cloaks and oversize jackets were on offer.

Next, Mary Katrantzou showed a collection that was more 60s than 70sand thank goodness, because not everyone looks model-esque in thelatter decades long, lean lines.Patterns and textures duked it out on shift dresses, collars were pumped up with fur or hardware, and models wore velvet Mary Janes perfect for chasing down cute boys in bands.

The Wachowskis' latest sci-fi adventure is a CGI feast, but it lacks compelling ideas.

JUPTER ASCENDING (M) General release

Half an hour in, after several close shaves with evil alien forces, Jupiter Jones (Mila Kunis) arrives at a farmhouse set in peaceful cornfields. The extraterrestrials in hot pursuit arrive soon after, but not before she hears that she is royalty, a challenge to the authority of those who want her dead, and destined for great things. Only the day before she was a cleaner, scrubbing toilets, so it seems there was something in the alignment of planets when she was born after all.

Jupiter Ascending is the latest from the Wachowskis, writer-director-producers Andy and Lana, whose Matrix trilogy was a landmark in its time. The Matrix concept was bold and the look original in a postmodern kind of way. The Wachowskis have the same sort of thing going on visually here, a collision of a high-tech futurism with aspects of our historical and mythological past - but not so much in the way of ideas to pin it all down.

Jupiter learns that the people of Earth are being systematically harvested and liquidated to create a serum in which alien overlords bathe regularly to maintain their smooth and toned youth. Keeping the ravages of age at bay is possible at 14,000 years of age, it seems. The exploitation of the masses, a familiar theme in sci-fi, has a nasty twist here.

That said, there is a wealth of detail in the Wachowskis' backstory, but it adds little persuasive drama to this narrative. A compilation of details that adds little to the eye-candy visuals, however, there are good actors at work here, wrestling with a woeful script.

Eddie Redmayne, so credible in The Theory of Everything and vying for an Oscar next week, may be hoping the judges won't have seen him here before they cast their vote. He has done the only thing he could with his part as Balem, rival to his siblings in the Abrasax royal family, and camped it up.

Terry Gilliam is clearly enjoying himself in his cameo. As Minister of Seals and Signets he is suitably Pythonesque and his scene in Jupiter's journey through bureaucratic absurdity tailor-made for the director of Brazil.

And Channing Tatum, of course. It has to be said that Jupiter is no superwoman. She is important to the future of the human race, but it's ex-military hunter Caine Wise (Tatum), her self-appointed guardian who keeps arriving in the nick of time in his flying boots to save her. His persistence can only be the work of a man in love, and so it is.
