Fashion vs. Textiles

I'm trying to decide whether to apply for Fashion or Textiles at Glasgow School of Art. I know someone who is in the Textiles course and talked to some other students doing it, but haven't been able to speak to anyone doing Fashion. If anyone doing the course could tell me what it was like and why they picked that course - possibly over Textiles - it would be very helpful.
