Hi Capucine,
Thanks for asking! Yes, it is true. There are some designs that are strictly for runway. They are not open for the public to buy, but can they can be used for print, celebrities and etc.
For example this beautiful runway piece from Spring 2012 runway, worn by Jennifer Lopez on American Idol. Before and after she wore this dress, we got a lot of inquires about the dress. Unfortunately it's not available for the public. It happens with a lot of designers. Thanks for asking

Oh non ... my UHG
I've been dreaming of this dress for so long!
Are you sure I can't find this style in particular anywhere?
Designers should definitely not make dresses they know they won't make available for the public, I don't even get the point. It's just frustrating
Thanks anyways rnsmelody, I appreciate
I think the point is that it makes them "special."
I'm sorry, Capucine. It is frustrating. It's a gorgeous dress. I wonder if any of those runway samples ever end up on auction sites like EBay? I know that it would be extremely rare, but they have to end up somewhere, right?

Wow...beautiful dress. rns, why do they do this?
Also, what happens to these dresses after their "hot" period? Do they get vaulted? Discarded? Ebayed?

While the dress may not be made for the public in mass production, that doesn't mean it's not available. Have you tried contacting Herve Leger corporate offices?
I know someone that has the dress J Lo is wearing, she had to do a lot of calling and paid dearly for the dress. But, she was persistent and it paid off, because she looks like a million bucks wearing it
Lovedresses, mod pictures as promised. Thanks for the opportunity to Lastly, this Plum is so hard to capture its true color, but it's very versatile IMO..
paired up with CL Summerissima
This is actually my favorite of the two. You could wear it in so many settings.
I don't think they specifically design a dress not to do a mass production, if they don't get enough interest from the buyers (because of the cost or if the design is commercial enough or not, or a combination of both) then it's decided not to mass produce the dress.
Usually the dress that was on the shown on the runway is archived.

so the plan was to stop buying HLs for awhile, but then i got melody's email about the sale items and i decided to head on over to the SF boutique to check out what they had. i wasn't even planning on buying anything, but then i saw that this gorgeous blue ari dress was on sale (when i first saw this dress i almost bought it at full price). long story short, i am a little poorer but it was totally worth it and big thanks to melody for helping me pick it out 
(i actually haven't had anywhere to wear it yet, so i wore it today when the boy and i went to the mall to pick up some free VS panties. seriously, who says you can't wear HL in everyday life?? haha. i took that second picture in the dressing room of macy's.)
