shapers
Those who sculpt
Shapers are people or things that shape—that give form to something or influence its development.
The word usually appears in contexts of influence: the shapers of public opinion, policy shapers, shapers of the modern world.
In some fitness contexts, shapers are compression garments designed to mold the body's appearance.
