A straightforward agentive noun formed from the verb 'fashion' (to make), meaning 'one who makes or shapes'.

Etymology

Fashioner is built from fashion 'to make' plus -er 'one who does', so it literally means 'a maker'. That's why a fashioner is a person or thing that shapes, forms, or creates something.
