Modern Indian Ethnic Inspiration

What modern clothing lines/manufacturers take their inspiration from ethnic Indian styles? Especially interested in mens clothing.

Probably not what you're looking for, but the whole area of men's pyjamas must have come out of Indian men's (daytime) clothing style.

Also not specifically men's clothing (or clothing) but John Robshaw does Indian inspired textiles.

Sorry, don't have any designers for you, but the other garment off the top of my head that brought ethnic Indian style to the forefront (besides the aforementioned pyjamas) is the Nehru jacket, worn with a very trim pant ... maybe google up a bunch of photos and get thee to a taylor ...
