What CSM/LCF Fashion BA course should I do for somebody multidisciplinary as I am?

Unfortunately, due to health reasons, I couldn’t obtain GCSEs, but I’m retaking them now. I already have functional skills and a UAL Level 2 Diploma in Art and Design, and I plan to do a Level 3/4 Foundation in Art and Design, likely the diagnostic route. I need advice on a degree as a multidisciplinary creative. I’m interested in fashion design (clothing, costumes for musicians, and my brand) and also enjoy animation, illustration, painting, surface patterns, performing arts (costume design, acting, dance), and music (writing lyrics). At UAL insights, tutors called me fashion communication, fine art, or print rather than womenswear, which I wanted. I feel everything is connected and can’t choose one. What should I do?

id say probably fashion communication is a good degree because it has a bunch of things in it like animation illustration pr photography graphic design and management

Hmmm…but I don’t know about that cause it I want to make clothes…in addition to doing art. Etc I want to create artwork but also design clothes too. Not just in fashion but also in costume design or for musicians etc.

look at these courses from ual , they combined fashion design with textiles and artmaking or photography
