London, May 5 (IANS): Socialite and model Poppy Delevingne says she has a phobia of buttons and she almost felt physically sick when she accidentally grabbed some.

The 26-year-old said she was also left traumatised when she hugged a friend without checking her outfit first.

"I have a phobia of buttons. They make me feel physically sick. A girlfriend of mine once wore a pair of jeans with multi-coloured buttons on the pockets. I was hugging her and grabbed her b*m. I thought, 'Oh my God, what's that?' When I saw them, I went green," contactmusic.com quoted Delevingne as saying.

The socialite loves her work as a model, and was overwhelmed at fashion show by brand Chanel because she thought the clothes were so beautiful.

"I wanted to wear every look on the catwalk and felt overwhelmed by the whole experience. The Scottish reeling and the clothes were out of this world. I'd like to float around my house in one of those babies." she said.
