    When you're constantly jetting across the globe, what's easier or chicer than a wrap dress? To celebrate the 40th anniversary of her iconic design, Diane von Furstenberg named Jourdan Dunn her "Journey of a Dress" ambassador for the month of November, during which she'll document her travels via social media, photos, and the video seen below.

    We sat down with the globe-trotting model to find out about her travel routine and how she makes a piece of clothing designed for all women her very own.

    Marie Claire: What occasions do you think a DVF wrap dress works well for, and when do you like to wear one?

    Jourdan Dunn:
     The best part of the wrap dress is the versatility. You can wear it during the day with flats or dress it up for a night event. It's effortless, chic and comfortable. I wear the dress more during the day, running errands.

    MC: What tech item can you not live without?

    JD: I am constantly playing music and need to have my iPod on me at all times.

    MC: What's your favorite workout/exercise/way to stay in shape?

    JD: I maintain a balanced diet and when I need to get a bit of exercise, I dance. It's my favorite type of exercise and the best way to de-stress.

    MC: What's on your holiday wish list this year?

    JD: I want to take my family on a vacation all together. It's hard because we are all so busy, but this year I hope we can all go visit family in Jamaica.

    MC: What's your favorite holiday treat?

    JD: I am not into sweets. I really prefer hearty and savory dishes over sweets.
