Cinema News: L.A. street style at the farmers market, Chinatown and more

See what's 'Outside.'

This issue celebrates the outdoors in L.A. and the many lives to be lived under its unencumbered sky.

It's become much too easy to recede into the claustrophobic containers of our depression-inducing screens. Traipsing through the Hollywood Farmers Market with giant heads of lettuce and overgrown bouquets feels not only like release but also resistance and resilience.

We're still bargaining for gold hoops and oversize blazers at Santee Alley, getting dressed up for each other at the Venezuelan coffee shop on Melrose and dreaming through the colors of Chinatown. We're still picnicking under piñatas, and some of us still gather at newsstands to flip through artful magazines and meet like-minded strangers. It can be beautiful out here.
