Hi Priti,
Yes, you can. The UPSC eligibility criteria want you to be a graduate in any stream. But, do give it a thought why you want to pursue fashion and then become an IAS. It gets quite contradictory.

BA is better. You will have a choice to choose optional subjects. It is better you choose History, Political Science, Geography, etc., subjects. Even you can do B.Sc, but BA is better. You will be having much time to prepare for IAS if you choose BA.
All the best.

Firstly, you have to pursue a course for graduation i.e. B.Tech B.Sc, etc. And then, you can further apply for the UPSC exam. Leave an upvote if you satisfied with the answer.
Have a good day.

Hello,
Yes, it is helpful because unfortunately B.Com and BA syllabus tally with GS papers apart from the optional subject. So, if you take economics, it is really helpful in the exam, but you have to study very carefully and with clear understanding.
All the best.

Hello,
Yes, BA in Sociology helps in clearing the exam as there are some portions in GS Paper 1 which came from sociology but if you take history, geography or economics, it will be beneficial as compared to sociology.
