Morphology

fashioner = fashion (transparent) = fashion + er

Agentive formation from 'fashion' yielding 'one who fashions' — here specifically applied to clothing/design, a directly derivable sense.

Etymology

Fashioner comes from fashion, which now often means 'style of clothes', and the ending -er meaning 'one who does', so it can mean someone who makes new clothes or styles — in other words, a clothing designer.
