Do you mean Visual Kei shops in America? You probably won't find any in America specifically designed for "Visual Kei", but you can always go to Spencer's. You can probably check online for merchandise too, but I don't know any websites. This thread needs to be moved, also.

Step 1) Examine Visual Band
Step 2) Buy clothing that is approximate to Visual Band
Step 3) Apply Said clothing
Step 4) ?????
Step 5) Profit.

Seriously, you're just going to have to do as best you can to emulate whatever star or band you want to emulate... You have about as much chance of running into a stateside Visual store (and these are even rare in Japan, if they exist at all), as you will of finding a duplicate of something like Baby The Stars Shine Bright.

You're just going to have to wing it... Now, my question is... where are you going to wear this type of attire!?

^ Well, I have a 'normal' (?) life and a 'respectable' (?) nine to five job and I still manage to wear 'visual-kei' orientated style about 50% of the time (without full-on OTT makeup though... that's just a pain in the butt)!

Seriously though, it is better to make it yourself, because you really can't find those kinds of styles in the shops, or rather, you can, but it's really really expensive. ☝ So the best thing is to look round the expensive shops to get ideas and then use them to make your own clothing. If you're not that good at sewing, you can use something cheap and make additions to it, rather than starting from nothing.
