How I got my job as... The founder of this uber-cool streetwear label
How I got my job as… The founder of this uber-cool streetwear label This week, Emirates Man speaks with Shubham Gupta, the founder of Bonkers Corner, an uber-cool streetwear label based in India, which is expanding its portfolio into Dubai. Welcome to the Emirates Man weekly series 'How I got my job as…' where we speak to incredible entrepreneurs, and businessmen both based in the UAE and globally to find out about their career paths that led them to where they are now; what their daily routines look like; the advice they'd give to those starting out; and the hurdles they've had to overcome. ADVERTISING Known for being an uber-cool label that the younger crowd loves, Shubham Gupta, speaks to us how he built his fashion label and its journey to the UAE's fashionscape. With industry experience in the fashion world from working with his father in his white-label clothing business and understanding manufacturing to supply chain basics, Gupta's Bonkers Corner checks all the boxes for what it means for a brand to be fashionably relevant while remaining strong in its back-end processes. So, to delve into his journey in this industry, Emirates Man spoke to him to see how it all began. What was your favourite subject at school? Maths has always been my favourite subject because it taught me how to think logically and approach problems systematically. I've always enjoyed the challenge of finding solutions, and that analytical mindset has been invaluable in business – whether it's making data-driven decisions, optimising processes, or solving unexpected challenges. What was your first job? My first job was helping my father in his white-label clothing business. It gave me hands-on experience in the apparel world early on. From understanding manufacturing to supply chain basics. That foundation was invaluable when I started Bonkers Corner later. What brought you to Dubai? Dubai is a vibrant crossroads of cultures and commerce. It's a place where trends from around the world converge, and the fashion scene is incredibly dynamic. For a brand like Bonkers Corner that thrives on youth culture and streetwear, Dubai felt like the perfect gateway to a global audience. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Bonkers Corner (@ What inspired you to enter the fashion space and launch Bonkers Corner? I saw a gap in the market for streetwear that was both expressive and affordable – something authentic, but also accessible. My background in the whole white-labeling and D2C made me confident we could build a brand that wasn't just about clothes, but about community, creativity, and culture. That vision became Bonkers Corner. Talk us through the concept? Bonkers Corner is all about unapologetic self-expression and quality products at an affordable rate. We design bold, oversized, and comfortable streetwear that encourages people to be themselves without compromise. It's where fashion meets lifestyle — with an inclusive, gender-neutral vibe that reflects today's youth. What are the key elements of your role? As founder, I'm involved in everything, from brand strategy and product development to tech infrastructure and licensing. My job is to keep the brand authentic and innovative while ensuring our operations and marketing align with our vision. Talk us through your daily routine. My day usually starts early, and I strive to begin with positive thoughts. I first proceed with a review of sales and inventory data, followed by team catch-ups on marketing, product design, and tech projects. I also set aside time for creative brainstorming and meetings. The day is a mix of strategic thinking and hands-on problem solving. What advice do you have for anyone looking to follow the same footsteps? Be patient but persistent. Build your foundation and deeply understand your product, your customer, and your market inside out. Also, embrace feedback and failure as essential parts of the journey. Most importantly, stay authentic to your vision and don't chase trends blindly. Tell us more about Bonkers Corner and its pieces? Our pieces reflect the street culture ethos, oversized fits, bold graphics, and quality materials that feel as good as they look. Each collection tells a story and is designed to empower the wearer to express themselves freely. We focus on inclusivity, with gender-neutral options that break traditional fashion norms. What is the best piece of advice you have ever received? Discipline beats motivation.' That's the best piece of advice I've ever received. It taught me that consistency and commitment matter more than fleeting bursts of inspiration. This mindset has helped me stay focused through challenges, stick to my goals, and build Bonkers Corner with a long-term vision rather than chasing quick wins. And what is the worst? The worst advice I ever received was to 'just follow what's trending.' While trends can offer short-term wins, blindly chasing them can dilute your brand's identity. In fashion and in business. I've learned it's more important to build a distinct voice and stay true to it. Trends should inspire, not dictate What's the biggest challenge you have had to overcome? Scaling Bonkers Corner without losing its authenticity has been the biggest challenge. As we grew, there was constant pressure to compromise on quality or design to meet demand quickly. Balancing speed with creativity, and expansion with staying true to our roots, has taken conscious effort, strong systems, and a committed team. What's the future of the brand? The future of Bonkers Corner is about becoming a global voice for streetwear that's inclusive, bold, and accessible. We're looking at expanding into more international markets, exploring collaborations with artists and creators, and pushing the boundaries of sustainable streetwear. The goal is to keep evolving while staying connected to the community that built us.

Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez reveal engagement with giant oval diamond ring
Soccer star Cristiano Ronaldo and Georgina Rodríguez have announced their engagement after dating for eight years. On Monday, Rodríguez, 31, posted an Instagram photo of a giant oval engagement ring with what appears to be the Portuguese soccer star's hand in the background. 'Yes I do. In this and in all my lives,' she wrote in a translated caption. The couple first revealed their relationship in 2017 after appearing together at the Best FIFA Football Awards in Zurich, Switzerland, before posting each other on social media for the first time later that year. In June 2017, they welcomed their first set of twins, Eva Maria and Mateo, 8, via surrogate, and then welcomed their daughter Alana, 7, in November 2017. Ronaldo also has a 15-year-old son, Cristiano Jr., from a previous relationship. Georgina Rodriguez shows off her giant oval diamond ring. A few years later, the model and the soccer player announced the death of their twin son, Ángel, in April 2022, as they revealed that their twin daughter, Bella, 3, had been born. Ronaldo and Rodríguez shared the news of their son's passing in a joint social media post at the time. 'It is with our deepest sadness we have to announce our baby boy has passed away. It is the greatest pain that any parents can feel,' they wrote. 'Only the birth of our baby girl gives us the strength to live this moment with some hope and happiness.' The couple also took the opportunity to express their gratitude to the doctors, nurses and medical staff for 'all their expert care and support.' 'We are all devastated at this loss and we kindly ask for privacy at this very difficult time,' they wrote. 'Our baby boy, you are our angel. We will always love you.' Days later, Ronaldo took to Instagram to thank his peers for their support and revealed that his then-newborn daughter was out of the hospital. In his post, he also shared a photo of his family, which included his three other children. Rodríguez further reflected on that moment during season two of her Netflix series, I Am Georgina in 2023. 'Over 40 million people follow me, but no one knows how I really feel. This year, I had the best and the worst moment of my life in an instant,' she said in a teaser for the new season at the time. The clip went on to show a video of Rodríguez and Ronaldo holding their twin's sonogram, before showcasing photos of the couple holding their then-newborn twin daughter. Rodríguez then tearfully explained how the soccer star helped her overcome her grief and encouraged her to keep moving forward. 'Life is hard. Life goes on,' she said. 'Life goes on. I have reasons to move on and be strong. Cris really encouraged me to continue with my agenda. He said, 'Gio, get on with life. It'll do you good.'' The influencer expressed her gratitude for her loved ones, adding: 'My priority right now is my family and my children. I'm so happy and thankful.' The Independent
