The 42-year-old supermodel - who was scouted at the age of 14 years old and has since boasted a career spanning almost three decades at the helm of the fashion business - has credited all models and notable figures in the industry as hard working people.

Speaking at The Fashion Awards, which took place at London's Royal Albert Hall on Monday (05.12.16), the blonde beauty said: "We have to live together, work together, we want to have fun at the same time.

"We are workaholics, so if you work all the time we want to have fun."

And the 62-year-old Peruvian photographer Mario Testino - who attended the star studded annual bash with the catwalk icon - has described him and other creative people as "working class".

He added: "We are working class."

Mario has credited the fashion industry as a "fabulous business".

He said: "Business is what maintains us, for starters, and it's a fabulous business to work in."

To which Kate added: "It is fun."

Meanwhile, the style muse - who has starred in campaigns for designer brands including Burberry, Roberto Cavalli and Yves Saint Laurent - believes you "need a lot of patience" and be willing to stay later than the working hours to be a successful model.

Speaking previously, she said: "You need a lot of patience because it takes a long time to get pictures sometimes. You have to sit and let hair and make-up do what they want for hours and hours sometimes.

"You've got to work and make sure that when you go to that shoot, you're going to walk away and they're going to want to book you again because you've wiped the floor with everyone else.

"You've got to be careful. One dodgy one - it's like that thing actors say, 'You're only as good as your last film.' It's the same in fashion.

"I always make sure that I don't leave the job without getting the picture. It's just that thing in me. I would never be nine to five. If we need another hour to do the picture, I'll do that."
