I only wear outfits from my £1million wardrobe once – what’s the point in wearing it twice when everyone’s seen it?
MOST of us have been wearing the same pair of jogging bottoms over and over again during lockdown, but for one woman, wearing something more than once is out of the question.
Saffron Drewitt-Barlow was famous as soon as she was born, as the daughter of Britain’s first gay dads, ex-couple and multi-millionaires Barrie and Tony Drewitt-Barlow.

Now 21, Saffron has built up an impressive wardrobe selection worth more than £1 million – but it barely sees the light of day.
She wouldn’t be caught dead in a recycled outfit, saying: “I don’t like wearing things again because what’s the point? Everyone’s already seen you in it.
“I treat clothes like they’re disposable really, wear them one or two times then either chuck them or bung them in the wardrobe.
“If you’re just taking shoes, bags and clothes my wardrobe is worth well over a million pounds.
Saffron estimates her wardrobe is worth more than £1million[/caption]
“Include jewellery and I really have no idea, I’d need to get it all re-valued, but it would probably be another couple of million.”
Saffron lives with her dad Barrie, who’s now dating her ex, Scott, 27, and they share four-month-old daughter Valentina, from a surrogate.
She stays in the opposite side of the house to her dad and ex, and there’s plenty of room for her expensive clobber.
“Shoes and bags are my main loves, I’ve probably got about 100 pairs of shoes”, she tells Fabulous.
Saffron hates Michael Kors and thinks it is ‘cheap’[/caption]
And even though she shops designer, there are some brands she loves more than others.
Saffron said: “I hate Michael Kors too, I don’t like the look of his things or the pattern.
“Also it’s the people who wear his stuff. They think getting a Michael Kors bag means they’re the richest people in the world and have all this money.
“Actually anyone could buy a Michael Kors bag, it’s not exclusive at all. It’s cheap, I hate it.
“Louis Vuitton bags are great, but I’ve got loads of Prada and Chanel ones too.”
If she wants to go shopping – she hops on a plane to the nearest mall[/caption]
Saffron usually goes shopping on the weekends, so she has something to look forward to – but it’s very different from heading to your local high street.
She explained: “On a typical shopping day I’ll wake up, get ready and go to the mall – but sometimes that means flying to Los Angeles or coming to Miami because where we live in Tampa, Florida, doesn’t have the most amazing shops.
“I like ones which stock Gucci, Louis Vuitton, Prada and Chanel.”
Saffron said she’ll never shop at Primark – but she does browse PLT and Boohoo[/caption]
But it’s not all high-end clobber she buys, as she admitted she does snap up some more affordable pieces, if she doesn’t want to ruin her good clothes.
She said: “I shop online too and it’s not all high end, I’m into Pretty Little Thing, Boohoo, places like that. They’re cheap but good quality and you can’t go wrong wearing that and matching it with a pair of Louis Vuitton shoes and a nice bag.
“I mean obviously I’d never buy a bag or shoes from there, but the clothes are quite nice sometimes.”
There’s one place she’ll never go though – our beloved Primark.

“Primark clothes are just so gross, they don’t know how to make them,” she fumes.
“I wouldn’t mind if they had nice pieces but they don’t.
“I’ve been once with my cousins and it just wasn’t for me, it’s all horrible.
“The only thing I’d maybe get is a pair of their hoop earrings for a quid or whatever for a night out if I didn’t want to wear my nice stuff, but otherwise no way.”

Saffron’s sharing her lavish lifestyle, including her wardrobe, surgery plans and family life with Fabulous readers in her new weekly online column, Saffy’s Absolutely Fabulous Life.
Millions will recall pictures of Barrie and Tony cradling week-old twins Saffron and Aspen — born to a surrogate in California in 1999 — as they revealed themselves as the UK’s first gay dads and the first same-sex couple to be named on a birth certificate as parents.
The former couple, now worth £40million from their ventures including a trans-Atlantic surrogacy business and a global medical research company, became civil partners in 2006, then wed as soon as it became legal in the UK in 2014.

Saffron and her brother Aspen were conceived using the donor eggs of one woman, Tracie McCune, and carried in the womb of surrogate Rosalind Bellamy.
Manchester-born Barrie is the biological father of one, and Tony is the dad of the other — so they are actually half-siblings born at the same time.
Aspen, though, does have an identical twin — Orlando, 17. This is because the embryo from which Aspen was born split in two in the lab.
The other half was put on ice for four years before being carried for Barrie and Tony in the womb of a Japanese woman called Donna.

Barrie and Tony also have a second set of twins, Dallas and Jasper, born 11 years ago after Donna acted as surrogate again.
This time the eggs were from a Brazilian model, who Barrie spotted on a catwalk and paid £35,000.
The family have been open about their lavish lifestyle, regularly sharing updates on plastic surgery procedures and designer shopping trips.
