I caught that on the E! special.

When I first became interested in fashion, I had trouble distinguishing between Sasha and Gemma. However, I now have absolutely no problem deciphering which is which. In fact, they no longer appear all that similar to me anymore.

The resemblence is striking, but one would hope that for a national tv special they could get it right.

don't they hire fact-checkers? also, i know they look alike, but you would think that when you're researching a piece like this that whoever was in charge would eventually be able to tell them apart...

I can't believe they did that on TV! I would have thought someone would catch it. To someone who isn't familiar with models, they do look very alike, but to me they look so different.

I noticed that too! I mean, it's someones JOB to be able to know who Gemma is and put it on tv! It's like when theres a picture of Ashley and they label it as MK in a magazine. Your job is to know the difference! It's not hard to tell Sasha and gemma apart! Gemma is softer, rounder, full of life while Sasha is sharp edges and scary skinny and slightly possessed. I thought the whole special was kind of lame anyway.

On a somewhat related point, the most egregious example of confusing one model with another is actually on the US vogue site. They seem to be utterly incapable of distinguishing between several asian models, especially between Hye Park and Han Jin. If you click on Hye Park under the model search, you will come across several pics of Han Jin and vice versa. Bear in mind that they do NOT look each other at all, except that they are both Asian.

I can see why the mainstream media could confused Sasha with another model, since her looks are a hybird between Natalia Vodianova and Gemma Ward.

OH I CAUGHT THAT TOO!!! I thought it's just me, but hey, guess not! They really did put Sasha's face on there! I remember, Sasha was grinning, and I was like "Wait, that's Sasha, not Gemma!"

At the start I thought Sasha was Gemma, but now I do not even think they are that alike. And Sasha "became" a much better model than Gemma.
